Pretty sure it minimizes the play in the studs, since they rest (without fastening) between the lifters and rocker arms, this keeps them from moving around too much, i would think they'd be worth getting, i assume they reduce wear and improve consitency in the stroke. Please correct me if i'm wrong...

unless your putting out o ton of power, it will help them last longer but probably not needed
