    scorpion rockers!!!

    Wow...I just got off the phone with the people from scorpion rocker arms, I had an issue with 2 of their rockers cracking around the roller tip, this is the first problem i have ever had with any of their rockers, and have sold and installed at least 30 sets of them including 3-4 sets of my own, and wow...just...wow, they are putting me new rockers in the mail today at no charge, all they want is for me to have the broke rockers ready to send back so they can inspect them for any flaws or imperfections, i took a look at their website and they are a USA company out of florida, they do all of their own work in house and consentrate on beating the chinese at there own game.... I totally support the idea of keeping the money and the work in our country!!! so if you get a chance check out their site..

    Just so you know....the chinese don't engineer the cheapo parts that are available in today's performance parts arena...a western company will engineer the pieces and farm out the manufacturing to the chinese...they (the chinese) don't really have any game.

    EXACTLY. In general terms, the Chinese wouldnt know a rocker arm from a brake rotor, but will make them to print (if you watch over them enough). The issue isnt with the chinese, it's with people WANTING cheap prices and continuing to buy it.

    SCorpion are great rockers. Ed C. has been selling them for years too and feels the same way about them. The only drawback I've ever seen is their size as they are difficult to fit under the available 94-95 valve covers, but really that is such an isolated problem it really isn't worth mentioning. Its great to hear that they are standing behind their lifetime warrenty... I assume that they are still offering this.

    I had a set of those on my 88 Vert and they were top notch. I wish I would've kept them when I parted the car out.
    90 GT stock needing some minor work, traded my 87 Vert to my bro for it.
