At the begging of this season my car was running great, up until about a month ago. I was taking a long drive then I started to hear a loud ticking/loose part sound coming from under the hood. I pulled over and popped the hood and it seemed like the sound was coming from the passenger side valve cover. I did few slow RPM raises with the TB and the higher the RPM it seemed to go away. I immediate headed back for home. This weekend I started taking it apart and noticed that my Bowtie 1.6 RR's looked like that had some unusual wear on them. So I took a few pics. If notice at the tips there seems to be some crushing type wear, it is on all the rockers. Is that normal? Would that cause the loose/ticking noise? BTW these rockers only have about 5-7000 miles on them and I bought them new. Thanks guys for your help!

looks like the retainer doesn't allow such a style rocker due to it's design

is that the Crane 10308-1 spring kit?
