Default Rocker pooped the bed

Well just changed the oil for the first time since my h/c (in sig) and SURPRISE i pulled my drain plug out and it was prickly dicked with 8 needle bearings. I guess a rocker failed glad i caught it now.
Just putting this out there for trending purposes, should have gone with my gut and bought a set of harlands from the get-go.
I would suggest from experience now if your over 100k and go with a high spring rate don't use stock rockers.

BTW no indications of failure, no noise or performance issues just caught the bearings in the pan by chance

Im suprised the bearings made it all the way down to the oil drain plug without damaging anything.
