Thats got to be one of the most pathetic articles ive read in a long time, good fodder for the chevy guys.

My take on the lesson learned is have at least one guy in your crew thats not a dumbass. If a build is known to eat rockers, hey lets keep replacing them vs pulling it down and finding the issue NOT.

IMO thats a first time assembler (not builder) rookie mistake, if the valve cuts in the piston are not symmetrical there is always a pattern to follow. And its so easy to lay rolled clay on a full bank, set a head on and turn one cycle and inspect.

I f up alot of things but my builds dont eat parts, they maybe get mocked up 4-5 times and gets the pan and intake pulled for inspection after the dyno but they never eat parts.

Builds dont eat rockers, I could take one that breaks and chalk it up to a bad part, more then one and its time to come apart.

I use a 1.46 diameter spring on a .680 lift cam on my street racer, that build here was crap from the gate.
