roller rockers..what would do this to them? I got a set of gm 1.6 full rollers from my friend. They came off his tpi car and since i am helping him tune it, he offered me these in return. I was planning on tossing them on my lt1. They looked great until today when i went to further inspect them and noticed this. The front rockers and rear rockers seem to have it the worst. Some ones in the center clyinders arent as bad, some with nothing at all. What could cause something like this? Are they trash or should i not worry about it?

dang those got fragged, I agree, looks like the retainer was misaligned for some reason or another and chewed right into the aluminum, hopefully they dont crack on you,
that is why I wouldnt run an aluminum rocker

I bought a used set of Crane's like that. There were only 2-3 that had some gouging like that, the rest were fine. I think the fella said it had something to do with the valvespring lock rubbing or something like that. I cleaned them up and have been fine ever since. 2,000 plus miles.
