300 ex rockers

[30ex-man]

do the stock rockers have a wareing problem.

[bradley300]

no, but if your willing to spend the money, there are builder that will tell you they do. i had my 350ex with stock rockers and HD valve springs and a big cam and never had a problem. my tc330 also had stock rockers with a tc gncc grind cam and no problems

This is hearsay, but someone told me that the factory chrome has been prone to chipping/flaking on the 300ex rockers. The guy made it sound like running my 300 with the FST cooler without hardened rockers would increase the chances of it happening. He told me Mickey Dunlap told him that but I don't know if it's legit or not. I have been waiting to find a deal on a good stg. 2-3 webcam and rockers because I thought an aggressive drop in cam would cause premature wear in the top end. If any of you guys know any good aggressive drop in cams let me know, I just don't want to take a chance wearing anything out prematurely.
