I have been working on a cam change and looking over everything before going back together. I found that one of my rockers has broken.

make sure you look everywhere on top of the head for that piece. I would hate to circulate that piece through my block.

what kind of rocker was that?

Comp Cams Pro Magnum Roller Rocker.

Have been looking its not in the top of the head. Might have to pull the motor to find it.

that sucksss..

If it were mine, I would drain the oil and check the filter 1st. See what you find and report back.

There is no way that broke b/c there is NOTHING up there that can get to it, imho!!

How long you been running them, b/c I'm wondering if it wasn't like that new and you missed it when you installed it??

pdq67, that’s what I have been thinking as well and all so there is no side force on the rocker. I think when Comp Cam pressed in the collar it broke that piece off. The only thing that keeps all the bearings together was the snap ring. I will be calling Comp Cam on Monday. I would like them to inspect all of them. I will reply as to what they have to say.

Comp has a pretty good customer service dept. I'd expect them to replace that rocker at no cost. That pretty much had to be a defect when it was assembled.

Just got off the phone with Comp cams. They are going to send me a replacement rocker for $19 and I will be sending them the broke one. They will then reimburse me the $19 if they feel it was there problem.
