The needle bearings are decent, but are a greater point of failure than a bronze bushing, no doubt. The issues seem to come from how the needle bearings are contained. When that containment fails, the rocker arm failure follows, not to mention needle bearings in your oil passages/pan.
Don't know that I've heard anyone on this or the Corvette forum complain about a set of bronze bushings.

BTR 100%, that's a company that has been around a very long time and stand behind their work 110%. Always helping racers out.

Smith brothers here, they’re pretty much the same as the straub ones. I don’t feel comfortable with the needle bearing type trunions
