You obviously have something wrong...whether it's the cam/spring combo or an oiling issue, I don't know.


Well, my thinking is, if we test the other intake springs and find that they have fatigued as well, its an oiling issue for sure, which is what I am pretty sure it is...Last time, I broke 4 of them, all intake springs. We will look at the oil feed holes in the rockers and see what they look like with the valve covers off. The only fix will be the RB rockers....And I already have a cam on order with a milder ramp rate...

I was on Indy's Facebook page, man those Predator engines make some steam....

So you're going to change two things at once. If it solves the issue, great, but you'll never know what the cause really was.
I'm leaning towards it being a cam/spring issue. You don't need rocker arms designed for a high rpm super stocker to keep a hemi alive on the street.
