Rocker Nuts Snapping...
Well i put a used set of Comp Pro Mags on my engine and when the builder at the shop went to install them one of the rocker nuts snapped in half. I know they dont require much of torqing down which is odd that one would snap right? The builder said it was really bizarre and said he never really see's these doing this. Question is does this happen more then we think and better off getting a new set just to be on the safe side then sorry later and engine goes boom?

The trunion of the rocker is machined on ONE side to accept the poly lock machined in "step",...if the trunion is turn the other side up(the unmachined side) then the mating surface becomes very sharp rather than completely circular,....
something to check?
Something I caught recently rebuilding a LT1 that came with ProMags from another owner, ie. no installation instructions.

The problem is there junk,my new set I installed did the same thing. I called Comp and they said they were over heat treated and that happened sometimes.They thought it was'nt a big deal and told me to replace them with new,I did but with a better brand. That was four years ago and no problems since.Some batches were ok and some were not.If you have them I would check them often.
