Exactly, I don`t think the Cranes or Comps were designed for those pressures and that`s why I went to Harlands.............

This is disappointing. The original poster is only running 550 lbs open pressure (his estimate) and the rockers are breaking. There has to be more to it!
-number of runs
-valve float or surge
-etc. or something
Now I agree Harland Sharp or T&D are better, but at 550 lbs open that is disappointing.
And the T&D post is disappointing at 600 lbs open. These are not high pressures, IMO. But I do agree that aluminum doesn't last forever. But I know a bunch of bracket racers that put 300 passes on their cars every season; and they don't buy rockers every year.
Maybe I should just stick to the flat tappet cams and 400ish open pressure... Even the Indy rockers hold up to that ! LOL
What's Up with this????

I have the blue Mopar Performance ones that are made by Crane. I broke one this season at just under 7000 RPM's in the lights on 1/4 mile. Mine broke at the same spot, looks identical to yours. I replaced mine with a spare on, and replaced the mangled up push rod, so far so good.

I am running these same blue mopar performance rockers with a solid roller cam. I hope mine dont do that. Or should I be expecting it?
I have both the Crane Golds and the Mopar blues and they are not the same.

I'd be willing to bet you know already why this happened.  Rocker breaking, causing a rod to break? Or rod breaking, casuing a rocker to break...hmmmm..decisions...decisions....I know where I would put my money....  How bad is the rest of the damage?

This thread is making me nervous now. I have 230 closed 685 open on my springs. crane golds at 1.5 ratio. low .700 lift on eddy rpm heads. I planned on changing the complete top end by summer, but may end up doing it sooner.
I planned on waiting until next spring since the season is almost over, but Todd (Competitionwedge) gave me a sweet price so I'm getting them now. I may do a little street driving if the weather stays nice. My local track is done after today, but KCIR runs thru November according to their site, so I might try to run down there sometime. I was nervous about the Cranes and had one break. I'm not waiting any longer.

RAS makes a very strong rocker in stainless, good if you do a lot of street use. Very expensive, though.
That would be fine if you could call these people and someone
Would answer the phone! They don't return calls or emails. I don't think
Anyone can get these rockers anymore! Lol. I'm sore with these folks..
Does it show? Maybe I'll get my rockers back someday.

I feel that a 620 lift or less flat tappet is the limit for Cranes and hughes. 700 is the limit for harland sharps. Anything bigger needs paired jessel or T&D... Flimsey cheap pushrods will also cause problems. Overkill is the safe way to go when you are building a valve train. poppaj

Harland sharps r rated up to 900" lift ive just upgraded to a set of Smith Brothers 120 wall/3/8 push rods at the end of the season hoping to eliminate some of the flex in the drive train
