    Unhappy Broken rocker

     



    Any idea why a (stock) rocker arm would break after only 1K miles?
    It's a sbc with a 350 hp cam. The engine has not been abused. I'm just concerned that there could be something else wrong.
    Thanks.

    Broken Rocker

     



    Thanks Denny, good info. I will inspect the rest of them for similar wear.
    I'm probably going to replace them all with aftermarket roller tips. I hear they're much stronger. Thanks again.
