Well I got everything off to do the Fox swap this morning, upper intake valve covers etc.. and Im looking at the RRs and on a few of them the pin that holds the roller tip ( on the valve side) appear to have worked themselves out Im going to use a small vise to press them back in but it looks like a potential catastrophe to me, anyone using the Crane Cobra 1:7s have a similar experience ?

UPDATE - Took a rocker arm off to inspect it a little closer and because the tip of the rocker was not sitting directly over the valve, once it was off I saw the fulcrum was broken in half,and the roller tip is scuffed, I wish I could post pics but not possible, what the hell caused that ? Overly tight Im guessing Now Im wondering if Crane sells a repair kit or am I in for a new set, this is BS, I cant see the piece of the fulcrum that broke off either ! Did it go down the oil return hole in the head ? DAMNIT Im flipping out.
