These are not made in China they are made in the USA.

OK, they are made in the USA so I have modified my first post. Their shaft rockers look killer but I don't think they have them for the LSx.

Default Scorpion roller rockers

I just had 1 Scorpion roller rocker crack & break in half. I only have about 800 miles on them so I'm not sure if I just got a bad one or if they aren't up to the task. My reliability factor looks pretty bad at this point. This happened on a brand new pair of TFS heads...so I didn't have any valvetrain issues that I'm aware of.

I thought there was a thread somewhere that talked about a bad batch of Scorpions. Something to do with breakages where it contacts the pushrod like yours.

Also, one poster attributed his breakage due to poor valve cover clearances.

I have the Scorpions on my set-up. Good rockers, made in USA! Actually, they are based out of FL, very close to me. I've had no issues with them. Went with the 1.8's on a 222/224 .566/.568 cam to up my lift to .599/.601. Love 'em!

G-Force had a box with a set of them. About half were broken. I was thinking of getting some, but stuck to the stockers. If I ever get in the mood for better rockers, I'll look at the Crane ones that Vinci advertises, Comp Cams Pro Magnum or Shaft-Mounted, or Jesel.
