Keep breaking yella tera rockers!! I heard that there was a bad batch of rockers the went through production and were sent of from yella tera. This is the second one i broke, i have 3000 on my 408 stroker motor. Anybody else have any ideas of what it could be.

I had a customer who broke two. The first one screwed up 2 lifters and 2 pushrods. yella terra would only replace the broken one. Then 800 miles later on the other side of the head another one broke. this time he called vengeance and got a set of comps they said would replace the yella at the customers expense. Well for some reason they for got to tell him he need the studs and guide plates and shorter pushrods. I tried to email them but they never responded to my email. My opinion yella terra should have replaced the first batch from the start and vengeance should have stepped up and helped out. It was a damn shame the guy thought he was buying good stuff but in the end he got screwed by both parties.

Yella Terra have had a few issues but have stood behind them. I also see a lot of guys installing them wrong so in some cases (not saying that applies here) you can't fault the vendors product. One guy was hitting coil bind and blamed the rocker.

I had 2 go bad on me. First I thought it was a lifter, but after looking at it two of them where the pushrod sits pitted in to the rocker. My pushrod length was right on also. Replaced them all with a new set, and car still runs fine. I guess now I have extras..

As I said in my other post if there is ANYTHING Vengeance Racing can do do not hesitate to email/call.

This is the 2nd thread I have seen you talk about Vengeance Racing not stepping up to help out one of your customers.. Please PM me or give me a call and fill me in. I have gone as far as replacing complete sets of rockers and including call tags with the rockers to send in the old set with no questions asked... I also respond to all emails even though it sometimes takes two to three business days with the amount of emails I recieve.

Talked to yella tera and they said when the hole was drilled for the push rod cup it wasn't aligned properly, that's why they are breaking and he told me to send the old ones back and he would send me new ones and will be here on thurs. enough time for me to go to the woodword dream cruise. They were very helpful and stand behind there product.
