re-use roller rockers from blown motor?

I have crane 1.6RR and blew my motor, shrapnel everywhere. Since they are rollers, can I clean them and re-use or are they trashed because they had metal circulating over them? Thanks

Soak them in kerosene. Do this several times while using clean kerosene each time. Also dont forget the lifters, they can be taken apart and soaked too.

Examine them carefully for damage. This should include rotating each tip and trunion through a couple of revolutions while carefully feeling for any roughness or resistance. If they rotate easily and have no visible damage, go ahead and reuse them.

if you do find one that's bad, you can purchase just the single for about 35 bucks

Thanks for the responses. I actually called crane today, they said the same as you guys. You should charge a fee!
