LS1 rocker problem?

I remember someone saying that LS1 rockers have a problem with the needle falling out. Is it the older ones that have this issue or all of them?

All stock ones. But not everyone has the problem.

Haven't seen any indication that any particular year is better or worse than the others.

This seemed to be a sporadic issue and from what I can recall, there were no particular years worse than others. Seemed to work itself out later in the model years. You can draw your own conclusions on that one!
