well took car out for a ride today, since i popped a serp belt off last night and couldn't drive it.

Now,........ believe this s*** ! bang knocknkock knock.
drove car home & this is what i found.

every aftermarket part is a complete pile of f'n **** !!!

i bought these cause they were supposed to be the quietest rocker on the market at the time.

I dont think I have ever heard of any luck with aftermarket rockers for LS1 cars?
Then again, I havent researched it enough, but it seems there is always a disaster right around the corner.

Not LS1 parts, but I've heard of some of their gen I rockers breaking.

SJ, what did you do? Drive a truck over a black cat, under a ladder, and through a warehouse full of mirrors? Rough luck, man.

Any man that came on his own face and then posted about it on the internet probably moved things along.

dude man you really do have the worst luck... i was going to go with scorpions originally but opted for ultra pro mags at last minute... from what iv read the scorpions had problems when they were first released, but the newer ones are supposed to be very reliable... sorry to see this though man i was hopen your car was going to be out and about maybe for the next meet... you ever think about going with a chromoly rocker instead of an aluminum one.... i would think they would be stronger... are stock rockers full roller though? are they even roller tip? i know stock lt1 rockers are complete ****..

Yeah, LS1 rockers are roller, but not roller tipped.

I had a stock rocker spill its guts into the motor. There are 33 needle bearings per side of each rocker arm. I only found 29 so I had to pull the motor and tear it apart to find the other 4. I then made the switch to Comp Cams Pro Magnums rockers. Full roller, adjustable with guideplates and have performed flawlessly on the street, track, autox, trackday etc......I wouldn't ever put a stock rocker back on, unless it had the aftermarket conversion done. I feel your pain pulling the motor to find all the pieces....been there done that.

Stock LS1 parts FTMFL tooooooo
