Looking good. Be careful with those cheap rockers. They are known for failing.

90mustang · May 9th, 2009, 08:49 PM

i have built many motors and used them rockers and everything i have own ...never had a problem. the set up i am doing is a probe industries rotating assy did all the block work myself. just had it decked and line honed. have the ford anderson motorsports cam (565 lift). main girdle and valley girdle. patroit performance heads with upgraded springs. 1.6 rollor rockers air gap intake.

If you google it you can find alot of people that have had failures with these rocker arms. Its been discussed on this site in the past as well. As always, you get what you pay for.

+1 for seeing failures on those arms

In Scorpions defense, I've heard their machining process has improved and their newer rockers are much better than their old rockers. I also here their customer service is great and they stand behind their products which are 100% USA made in Florida. Still makes me very cautious after seeing alot of broken rockers.
