Best valve train parts
Hey everybody,
I recently replaced the cylinder head on my 01 xj and I am getting a lot of valve train noise so I may be replacing all the pushrods, rockers, pivots, and bridges. Does anybody have any brans to recommend? I have only heard bad things about sealed power (which seems to be the largest provider) and stealership prices are absurd (looking at about 200 for all of it). Has anybody heard of RUKSE or used their parts? They seem quality, but I can't find any one who has had experience with them. Here is a link to the product:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Jeep-Rocker-...5d645f&vxp=mtr
Crown automotive (which I think is just rock autos house brand) also makes these parts but they do not seem to have the grooves for oil on the pivots, which is something I don't want to go without.
Thanks for any input.

Really? I'm wondering where you've heard that, as I've always thought they were quality parts and I've used them in my engine build without problems.
How sure are you that you have valve train problems? If you've replaced a cracked head your trouble might be a bit deeper into the engine.

As far as sealed power I have read that people had problems with the pushrod oiling hole being too small and too off center in order to properly lubricate the pushrods
