You don't need hardened rocker arms with a hotcam. If that's what you need them for? I have had my hotcam in my quad for about 7 years still on the same valves, springs, and rocker arms.

Yeah the guy I bought the quad off of had some head work done to it he put heavy duty springs in it and its killing my stock rockers. I'm at 2 options at this point. I could put hardened rockers in it. Or I could tear the head off put stock springs and keepers back in in and still have to replace my worn out stock rocker arms. since I have the head off I might as well put a head gasket in it. So by getting hardened rockers its gonna save me a couple dollars and some hassles

Iam not sure but using hardened rockers on a hotcam, they may damage the cam. The cams are meant to be a drop in part. Someone else might know more about this or you could give hotcams a call to see what they say.

Either you get new stock rockers and you continue to run them with the current Hotcam or you get hardened rockers and run them with a hardwelded cam like Web Cams.

You can't mix hardfaced rockers with stock/Hotcams cams and you can't mix hardwelded cams with stock rockers. It's a one or the other type deal, or you will be right back in the same spot after you wear the parts out.
