do i need to replace rocker arms?

[400exracer511]

ok ive got my motor all apart and the manual sais that if the chrome is flaking off the faces of the rocker arms, they should be replaced and it is flakin off of one of them and is kinda worn on the other 3, the problem is im on a budget and it will be about $88 to replace all 4, i am going to a 416 w/ stage2 hotcam... my question is can i leave them in there for now and replace them when i get the money (preobably a couple months or do i need to replace them immediately?

any suggestions are helpful cause you probably know more about this than me!

I hate to say it but you should replace your rockers. If that chrome keeps flaking off you run the chance of it wearing out your cam also. Not to mention you don't want chrome flakes floating around in your motor. Trust me, replace them now and save yourself a more expensive headache later.

good point i never really thought about it wearing the cam out
