now the funny part, he said they are 1.73. from what i can see on cranes www there is only 2 1.73 versions and one of them is a 'wide body' version. Therefore i am hoping these are just 351c 1.73 normal rockers...
Crane 27750 http://store.summitracing.com/default.asp?target=/egnsearch.asp&N=400078
I have a brand new set ready to go on the new motor. I paid US$308 for them including lock nuts....so thats AU$400 brand new.
Mine are Cleveland part #27750 and there are some noticeable differences!!
With ref to those ebay Q's....
1. Mine do have Crane Cams stamped into them including the 1.73 rocker ratio (quite visible on the top)
2. See the small hole in the rocker where the pushrod oil gets sqirted onto the main roller?.....mine don't have a hole there. Mine comes out of the top of that small grey pushrod seat where it comes out the top of the rocker.
3. Mine have a fair bit more metal around the sides where the main roller shaft is. ie: bit wider.
My two trains of thought are that they are a very old model, or they're fakes.
I noticed the pin also. It's the very reason I had to replace two of my own roller rockers. The two rockers were subjected to too much abuse and they didn't like it. riest:

ok so either they are fakes, or they are worn heaps...
I havn't paid or anything, i think i might giv them a miss ass i see the differences TruBlu is pointing out!
not sure?
i damn wanted em but that logo just isn't clear enough, the arm/pin isn't as thick at the side, different oiling hole etc
Pretty normal to have the pin sticking out more one side, so don't panick. These are my Yella terra rollers brand new below. (they are $800 7/16 1.73 rollers)
I never buy anything from ebay where the picture of the item is blurry. There is NO reason to have a blurry picture on something you want to sell and represent accurately.
Second, when you bid you enter into a binding contract to purchase that item. This is stipulated on the ebay policy website AND when you place your bid. You cannot just decide to "not accept" what you bought. If I were the seller I would rip you a new one in every legal way possible if you tried that.
I am not beriding you but rather reminding you of the situation you accepted the terms of when you bid. Could cause you some problems.
On a personal note, rockers, especially because they are aluminum as in this case, are under a lot of stress. Buying someone's used rockers is taking a chance I am not willing to gamble on since you cannot know what they were subjected to (lift on cam, rev's). I would suggest buy new and avoid any headaches.
