Well, the best I could see aftermarket was about $230 each recently. Then, you REALLY should get new rockers (16*22+ ea, aftermarket). Then, you would need a set of shims to do it right. So, it does run into some money. And, this is assuming that there are no "surprises" (i.e., cam bearing problems, etc).
