Rocker arm scaring

I pulled my rocker arm noticed scaring where the push rod meets the rocker arm.
I am going to order another set but is there anything else i should check on? besides all the rockers arms?

Check the pushrods also. If the rockers are rough, then the pushrods probably are too.

Sounds like a oiling issue if that part of the valve train is brinelling.

There should not be any scarring on the push rod side. You most likely have a bent push rod or a lifter problem
