Another broken Yella Terra rocker arm

Started the car up today, noticed some unusual ticking. It got louder & finally went away but the engine misses. So pulled the valve covers & found cyl 6 intake rocker broke. I know this is a common problem with these rockers but they held up great for the 3 years & 22,000 miles I put on them. I bought them from Scoggin Dickey, is there any kind of warranty on these & how do I go about replacing the broken rocker? Pics

That's not entirely correct. The newest revision has the 1.7 stamped on the right hand side not the left.

The newer design is supposed to be stronger. Unfortunately aluminum has a mush lower fatigue life than steel and these rockers I have always viewed as expendable. Not sure if you have done springs yet but my plan was to do the rockers with the springs, now I am not sure they will go that long.

- According to YT AUS, the after 2010 upgraded new and last model (for now) Ultralite's are stamped ON THE RIGHT DIDE
- The before 2010 model (the one's breaking more than usual...) are stamped IN THE CENTER
- The before 2007 model are stamped one are stamped ON THE LEFT SIDE.
Those one for the OP pics appear to be old model...

TFS 215s w/ TFS dual springs.
LS7 lifters, new when installed heads
TFS 215s
TSP 228 cam, 114 LSA
LS7 lifters, & new lifter trays
Trickflow 7.550 5/16 pushrods
6800 rpm rev limiter
IIRC, .050 lifter preload its been 3 years since I did the work.

Limited life time warranty. Those are not the new ones. Search my history and see my thread on the rockers. Contact info for YT is there for a quick response.
Aggressive lobe ramps combines with high spring pressure cause the failure most of the time. Need to keep your spring pressure under 410ft/lbs.

I'm gonna find out if they will replace the whole set with the revised ones.
Keep in mind when I said Another broken Yella Terra rocker arm, this is the first one I had break. It cant be from improper setup as much as I've driven the car with these.
