I don’t know if I have the WILL to also pay for the rockers.


Yeah exactly. When I found out the cost to hard weld the rockers I said, maybe later. I'm sure the stock rockers most likely wouldn't fail if they're in good shape and you don't redline it constantly.

You can always add a cam later.

As stated above, if your exsisting rockers are in good shape, get the cam and valve springs. Use an oil cooler and a high quality oil. l've reused nothing but the stock rockers in my builds, its a road bike not a roadrace bike.

Thanks, I get it and I know a lot of people do this. I just feel like a dick having Mreick do the work but ignoring his advice on the rockers.

It's your bike and your build, you do as you see fit. No judgements here...
Start with the end in mind...
