Crane Roller Rockers

Is anyone out there using Crane Roller Rockers on their M engine?? I haven't seen any posts. I am running a set now on my 400. I have noticed a difference...runs smoother and pulls harder at WOT, but i have a couple that tend to back off and rattle. Almost lost a rocker arm on one trip to the beach. Does anyone have any ideas as to why this would keep happening?? When i do check them and adjust...I am careful to recheck ALL of them so it wont happen again. I'm having to do this about every 4-6 months depending on how much I drive it. Thanks

I have a set of Crane Roller Rockers. I used the Crane Conversion kit for Guide plates. I used the for about 4 years with no problem. I am using them on my new CHI heads, but without the conversion kit.

Do you lock the adjusting screw after you set them?
