Took the blue vette to PRP last weekend, everything seemed fine… but noticed the pass. side bank poppin almost like a miss. Revved up fine, didnt get hot or anything, so I ran it.

Maiden voyage, 10.73 @ 125… foot braked it and short shifted it. Noticed it breaking up a little after the 2-3 shift. 2nd pass… was breaking up worse, so just shut it off.

Brought it back, pulled valve covers and found 2 of these:

rockers just spit the roller bearings all over the place! Some of the others were loose as well. Anyone ever see this kinda failure? This is a 482ci, 800 lift cam, mag. pushrods, double wound race springs, etc.

Ended up buying wide body race crane rockers for like 445$ :rant:

Can you buy individual rockers? I have good ones left, would work for a street car…

Ouch. Looks like they couldn’t handle the spring pressure. What ratio are they?

Wow, that sucks, i have found that the sharp rockers have very narrown needle bearings in the fulcrum, I killed a set on my big block just street running it with 280lbs on the spring seat… I went to a set of crower S/S and am very happy…

yeah, they are crane gold race’s. I talked to summit and they said there was no warrenty on race parts.

They are 1.7 ratio. The valve springs are 230lb seat pressure.

I guess its worth a shot. At least they could be used on something else then.

…the summit guy though was pretty certain sounding that there’s no love at all for racing parts. :dunno:
