They are pressed steel ones. I read somewhere (poss calver feature in mini mag) that the other type are less prone to wear.

The pressed steel type (pictured) are closer to 1.3:1 than the later sintered type.

The forged 1.5:1 are pretty rare and expensive so youre better off getting roller tipped if you wanted 1.5:1.

I run the pressed ones (as pictured) wherever I can - they have a marginally better ratio and can be rebuilt.

Metric is for people who can't do fractions.

I heard people run a small weld over the top of the presse steel ones to give these a bit more strength?

Why would you have to replace your head gasket to replace the rockers?

Ive reused fairly new head gaskets before with no problems.
