Scorpion Roller Rockers
So before I bought these I heard bad things like they break under high rpms and what not well I called scorpion and talked to a representative and he said that the issue was with the first batch and it had been taken care of I ordered mine from summit about a year ago I was driving and merging into traffic and started getting a bad misfire i went to autozone and the car was throwing p0102 p1133 p0135 codes so i put new plugs new wires new maf and new o2s i checked all my coils with a spark tester checked my voltage at the maf checked every possible thing i could think of I thought it was my tune which is not the best but the cars power dropped off so i pulled the valve cover and found this so now im going to be dropping the oil pan and praying that the pieces that broke are in my oil pan I plan on calling scorpion tomorrow

Yea idk man. Id talk to scorpion first. Hopefully you'll luck out and it didn't hurt anything else. I nvr dealt with scorpion personally so i dont know how they are customer service wise. How old are they?

I've used them in old school Chevy small blocks, but a 1.5 ratio is much easier on rockers than 1.7 ratio. Maybe that's why I rarely hearing the LS people using them?

Yeah im going to be pulling the heads to put some 5.3 heads on and putting new lifters in im hoping it just slapped the lifter up into the tray and didnt damage the cam lobe I talked to scorpion and there making a new set they said it looked like I had the old set that had problems with breaking great customer service though I was offered a new rocker to get me through till the new ones were made but I have to tear into the motor before I run it again and find all the aluminum from it
