Good value for the price. I was only able to rotate one pin for adjustment after I drove them in, as the other was too tight in my Chevy 454. I stopped when I felt the hex starting to strip (and yes, I cleaned the hole and put a layer of anti-seize both in the block and on the pins prior to installing). Vise grips gouged the outside terribly (even using a folded rag to protect it; these pins are made of soft steel just like the factory ones), and I ended up replacing that pin with an expensive adjustable one. Bottom line, these are precision machined and will work if you get them lined up correctly before you drive them all the way in. Easier to do in a shop than in your driveway. Don't count on much forgiveness if you're off a little when finding the high side, or if you can't line them up well when laying under your truck (and it's really easy to ding up the mouth of the hex when driving them in). In that case, bite the bullet and spend the money for the fancy adjustable ones.
