ouch! i may change my winter project from a new rad and hoses to new rockers!
how hard were you running when that happend? any damage to the pushrod?

I was idling at a light. I heard a "Dink" from up front it started to idle a little rough and shook like hell over 1500 rpm. By the time u got home it was blowing a ton of smoke
My only hope is that it didn't mess up the lifter or can. After seeing the other post with strikingly similar pics I'd say if you or anyone else has proforma make it a top priority to help the environment and recycle some low grade aluminum

Ahh yes, the proform rocker snapping. It's similar in nature to the fox body ashtray door.

I've had good luck with Harland myself

knarf that sucks! THANK YOU AGAIN CHINA!!!

I believe the TFS rockers are made by Scorpion. Nice rockers, no issues other than they're a bit noisy for the first couple thousand miles.

You want the Comp Cam Ultra Gold ones.

knarf · Nov 4, 2010

Just ordered tgw ultra golds. A bit pricey but I'm not taking any chances again

Did you find anything else wrong other than the busted rocker?

knarf · Nov 4, 2010

Haven't had a chance to tear that deep into it yet. I wanted the rockers right away soil could measure. For new pusheids. Ill post the autopsy results soon ad they're in

was looking around LMR and the only ones they had were the proforms and like one set of trick flow then i went to summit and they had a **** ton, anyone have a part number for the comp cams ultra gold 1.7's?
Didnt comp cams go out of business last summer or was that another old part mfg?

knarf · Nov 6, 2010

i ordered my 1.6's from goodies they had the best price and they were in stock

1.7 w 7/16 stud #19049-16 drop the 6 for just one
1.7 w/ 3/8 stud #19048-16 drop the 6 for just one

I got lucky the lifter shot the push rod up so hard it wedged itself very high between the cobver rail and the broken arm and stayed away from the moving parts. The lifter also shot up but just hard enough to jam itself on the wishbone but not dislodge it so the sister lifter stayed clocked correctly and i didn't loose oil press and wipe the whole engine. I'll change the lifter out just for good measure though.

I have to say the COMP CAMS C/M pushrod held up GREAT, snapped the rocker got jammed as i said ealier but it's still straight as an arrow.

Comp Cams, Harland Sharp, Probe, Scorpion, Trick Flow all good choices.... Miller has some nice rockers out also, great price too.. check these out www.highflowdynamics.com/ go under specials at the bottom LH side.

What size cam were you running? Thinking about bolting in some FMS's that are sitting on a shelf(i forgot they were there when I was put this motor together) now that I see this crap..

knarf · Nov 6, 2010

Just an f can nothing crazy

Rick 91GT · Nov 7, 2010

The older Ford Motorsport or the Ford Racing rockers are fine

Ahh Pro-Form rockers not PRW's, good deal = a little less concerned.
