Yeah the pressed steel is fine with stock setup except the needle bearings falling out. Way I see it is like having heavy daggy pressed steel wheels and when given the opportunity for lightweight better design mounted on shafts that don't lose their bearing makes sense.As best I can tell, apart from this current issue, the rocker arm has been solid for many years. However, changing to a higher lift cam would mean a change in better rockers would be advisable. Having said that, I have read some horror stories of people picking bits of rocker needle bearing out of the sump even with quality aftermarket stuff.
But you know with the cover off and springs exposed, titanium retainers and nitrided up spec beehives would be a temptation...
