Default How many have broken stock rockers?

I went to replace a valve seal I thought had went bad yesterday, so I pulled the cover and found one side of a rocker had a bearing retainer broke off, which caused the bearing to fall out.. Is this something common for stockers after some valvetrain modiing? What really blows my mind is it didnt cause much of a performance loss except the oil leak from the pinch it must have put on the valve seal.

Also I posted in the wanted section about needing just one replacement rocker. Anyone willing to sell me one would definately help me out. thanks

I just set up an upgrade for my stockers with Nate @ nasty Performance. They send off your stockers to Harland sharp for upgrades. H/S replaces the trunion and uses caged bearings. It gets rid the of the stock rocker's weakness.

They said 3-4 days once they receive them. $249 for the upgrade.
