That would be a hell of a conicidence if the bad rocker just happened to be in the same place an intake backfire pushed up a seal. I have never heard of a backfire pushing up a seal. I suppose it is possible but I would expect there to be more wrong then than one seal.

They better replace them.
Edit...... Just got off the phone with Compcams they say they will at minimum get me new rockers, but have to talk to the warranty Dept about anything else. I sent him the pics and they said it deff looks like a got a rocker with poor porosity and it just broke. I asked if they have seen this b4 and he said 2 times since he has been with comp.

That sucks and is BS IMO Puck!!!!
Minimum Ill get new rockers since the rocker bodies have the lifetime warranty.
The guy i talked with was really cool and if you zoom in on my pic of the broken rocker its easy to see how porus it was wich he saw and completely agreed. That rocker completely failed causing a complete tear down plus anyother damages. Hope they come through but I wont hold my breath for anything above the rockers.

Furniture dolly and two QUALITY floor jacks. Not the small cheap one ton pieces of ****.
Jack the car up, take front wheels off, loosen k-member, lower k-member onto furniture dolly, disconnect k-member and related components, jack frame up, move dolly w/ k-member and engine away from body.
You will have to have a significant amount of room to do this.
Make sure to at least drain the tranny fluid before doing this.

unless you put the k-member back in the car without the motor you won't be able to push it anywhere, the front suspension is coming out with the engine when you do it this way.......Fast, but not necessarily the best for someone without a lift. It can be done, but the car will have to sit outside until you get the new engine on the k-member and ready to reinstall....Not something I would want to do with Chicago weather and a car that's as pretty as yours...
just my .02.....if you strip it down to the short block it should come out fairly easily....
