<VV> Failure of GM rocker arms

[MarK Durham]

Wow, all of these reports has made me real glad I spent the additional
money for the roller rockers! I do know the stresses placed on the original
ball and socket style is high with nothing but splash lubrication. Most of
my originals were either worn in a unusual pattern or the balls were
scored. Yes, they were serviceable with new balls, but didn't want to sit
true with the valve stems, either.
