Yea those are needle bearings from your roller rockers!! I changed my oil last year and the same thing happened to me found needle bearings but my warranty took care of that!! You need new roller rockers and you gotta clean the oil pan and engine to get rid of the rest of the needle bearings!!!

Where could he get replacement stockers cheaper than Yella Terras? The dealer will prolly rape you.

Just curious...

Hey what does harland sharp charge to do rockers? Don't they put snap in retainers in or something?

Wasnt there someone on the board that puts retainer in to keep the bearings in? I though I read that somewhere.

Drop it off at the dealer and they will hook ya up with a rental for a decent price and you will get your car back within 2 days probably. I just moved here to GA and dont have my 2nd ride with me yet and my oil psi sending unit blew out the other day. Took it to the dealer and got it back the next afternoon and the rental car they give ya would have been only 25$ per day, but I just used my bosses car for the 2 days. I usualy would have just fixed it myself but I was in a hurry and i dont have garage here,lol
