I wouldn't be quick to blame any supplier.
I worked for a huge aerospace co. that would tell suppliers how to make their products. When those suppliers would balk and tell us "that wont work", our arrogant, pubescent MBA's would tell them "Trust us, it will be fine".
Guess what happened every single time..
And they never learned.
This isn't new technology. The aftermarket has been making roller valve trains for decades. This is the big three happily putting us at risk of major repairs down the road to save themselves a buck now.
