Updated pic of needle bearings from destroyed Rocker! For those that think you can just clean out your oil pan after you have a roller rocker come apart like I did think again! After I pulled the motor and began tearing it down I was absolutely amazed to find that 4 needle bearings had found there way to splash around inside the motor and work their way up to above the camshaft and rest directly below the engine valley cover 
Pic below in the red circle:
Anyway, the shortblock is apart and new forged pistons will be on their way shortly

Re: Updated pic of needle bearings from destroyed Rocker! Wow its amazing more damage wasn't caused as they could have got caught up in the cam if they had been just a few inches over!
