Non Self Aligh require Non Hydrualic Set up and every 12K you have to reaset with filler guage
Self Aligh is simple install and forget. If its LT4 RR you can use your Valve Cover. I would recomend using LT4 Springs too

That could not be more incorrect.

Lt4 springs arent a bad idea, but the rest of it is totally wrong. he is thinking of a solid roller cam, totally different.

Ok what is the difference between full RR's and jes roller tip RR's? I bought my used hotcam with a set of lt4 springs and retainers, and some 1.6 RR's that are only roller tips. Its these

What he said...these are the best bang for the buck in my opinion. The best period would be shaft rockers if you have the money for them.

Non Self Aligh require Non Hydrualic Set up - You can run them with hydrolic roller cams too

Eevery 12K you have to reaset with filler guage - no, lock them down once and you are good to go as long as your locks dont come loose.

Self Aligh is simple install and forget - same for non SA, just have to add guideplates and hardened rods.
