Unhappy Aluminum rockers

I used the Pauter raockers for the last 2 years and had many problems.
I run a 1.8 F Production 914 in SCCA. The first problem encounterd is lift at the valve. The rockers need a special cam for them to work. I had a pauter cam that was .368 at the cam and .548 at the valve. Many clearance problems to deal with.
My last race, the roller on one rocker broke and went into the engine.
Jake broke the engine down and said that the ramps were too steep. That is why I broke so many stainless valves at the head.
You can not have all that lift and compression too.
