Scorpion Rockers ,bearings loose/moved
Having a little louder than normal valvetrain noise,so I started looking things over and found that the bearings are starting to push out towards the sides on a few. Glad I caught it early,anyone ever had this happen?

That's why I use COMP PRO MAG rockers. Once an aluminum body rocker has bearing/trunnion problems they are junk. The steel bodied Pro Mags are rebuildable through Comp Cams. Good luck

What series are they ? I've ran the Race Series for the last 4 years with no issues. They have a snap ring on each side to prevent such a mishap. Someone else posted the same problem a while back, a silver Scorpion rocker with no snap rings and the bearing just fell out. Thank God for the warranty. Just make sure the new ones have snap rings.

Honestly mileage was unknown, they were on a used motor my friend bought for his Formula. Motor had problems and eventually through trading a known good motor I had, I got that motor. Looked at the rockers and decided they were not going back in the car in that state as they were doing what you described, the inner portion had shifted out somewhat, that inner ring and I could see the bearings.
