Default Rockers

I am currently building a H22A4 for my 96 hatch. I got my head to a machine shop and they told me that it wouldnt be the best idea for me to upgrade to a Skunk2 pro1 cams because the rockers were already scored. He said that I could go put the cams in anyway. Should I? or should I throw the stock cams back in like he suggested? Does anyone replace their rockers? for a 1100+ price tag they seem a little ridiculous.

Setup:
Skunk2 springs and retainers
Supertech STD valves
440 Inj's
TB 68mm
Modified Stock Manifold
AEM Fuel Rail
H22A4 Sleeved
11.5:1 Wiseco
Eagle Rods
ACT 6 puck unsprung and new pp (replacing the ones that came in the car, was fun to learn to drive stick on)
Lightweight flywheel
Rebuilt Transmission with Quaife LSD
Walb. 255 FP
Pulstar Plugs

Since you aren't doing the build yourself you must trust the shop, I hope. Why not follow their recomendation?

wear and tear my friend if you can run your finger on the pads and feel a seated groove then the rockers have " broken in" or blended themselves into that cam...buy new ones

Alright so I need a new set of rockers. Looks like the only aftermarket ones I can find are 1100+ and the Honda set is around 800. Is there any cheaper aftermarket ones? I have read around on the forums and apparently I can use B series with spacers. What are a good cheap set of B series and where would I get some of these spacers?

youre going to have to look around for new b series rocker arms and for the spacers find a machine shop and have them slice them off a lathe and surface grind them to size...
