Rocket Motorsports was developing the rockers and cams, but as far as I know, that project is dead in the water.

the motor should spin freely since the cams don't drag on the rocker compared to just rolling on the roller

motor should spin pretty freely without the roller rockers...its called lubrication
if the cam did drag on the rocker it wouldnt last long

Advantages are you can play around with the valve opening and closing more, and reduced friction.
