Yeah, those trunnions are WAY too soft...

Ya, it's kinda my own fault....I had them locked and loaded in the rocker arms while in the middle of doing my h/c setup, then a couple of these threads popped up and I was to impatient/excited to just wait for shipping a few days for a bushing style. I put about 3,000 miles a season on my car and figured I would just get threw the season with them. Well post after post kept rolling in on the comps so I ordered the bushing style. I really did not expect to see pitting on the trunnions after only 1,000 miles tho.

Let me get this straight: LS3 stock bearings suck but OEM trunnions are okay despite less contact area? So just do bearings like I see some doing, or best to just do both leaving stock rockers?

Thanks LS1tech.

If you are using stock rockers with a .625 cam, I would check them after EVERY RACE. You are putting them way past their normal travel arc.
