[QUOTE]Originally posted by 93PONY: [QB] We are the shop that would not install these rockers. Asskickn88 hit the nail on the head. Too much of a libaility. The rockers came in a platic grocery bag tied in a knot. Dirty as hell. A few roller tips were very notcy with dirt. A thurough cleaning loosened them up & it probably would not have been an issue. A few of the rocker trunions were gummed up with dirt as well. A thurough cleaning with oil cleaned up all but one. That last trunion was toast. Needed to be replaced, it would have overheated and failed if run for any length of time. Rocker pedistals were a mis-match of stock & aftermarket, Some actually contacted the rocker bodies and left gouges. 4 or 5 were not the same height as the rest (short) & would have needed to be shimmed to the correct height. One was too tall & could not be used at all. (IMO) The rockers were not stamped with the normal Scorpian Laser etching, these scorpians were cast into the bodies. Since Scorpian rockers are not cast rockers, it was clear to me they were either knock-offs, or very old Scorpian rockers. I can not be sure since I don't know all the variations of rocker arms Scorpian has produced over the years. Either way, they matched no rocker I found on scorpians website and I refused to install them for liability issues. I would expect the one rocker to fail after a few high RPM runs. The others were probably usable, but why take the chance. It was obvious they were installed wrong at one time & saw more than they're fair share of abuse. Long story short: We were given 15 marginal rockers which needed parts in order to be installed correctly, and 1 rocker arm in need of a rebuild. [/QB][/QUOTE]
