well its nice when a manufacturer stands behind their product, so roll with it. Glad things are getting cleared up for ya broSo I finally got the warranty on the rockers underway and made an interesting discovery. The guy I talked to at Scorpion said that I had a "weak" batch of rockers. The rockers I was using were not quite strong enough for my application. I bought and installed them back in February and Scorpion started making stronger arms a few months later - strong enough to withstand 400lbs open spring pressure. A big part of the arm failing was the patriot dual gold valve springs I run - 375lbs open spring pressure. Either way, the rockers are under warranty even though part of it was my fault. Bottom line, Scorpion's FORMER configuration was not quite strong enough, but the new ones are.
Sounds kinda like when Comp had their 918 spring problems with a 'bad batch.' I am not scared running them--or scared to run them in the future--cause I know they have excellent products and they have fixed the problem. Scorpion rockers are pretty damn good...so I would have them send me a new set and run them. IF this issue comes around again, THEN bad mouth them and not use their products.

Good point Tyler. I guess I was so quick to trash them cuz that broken rocker arm left me stranded for about 8 hours. It could have been worse though. I do remember someone saying ANY part can fail right before my rocker arm failed

damn jinx
I know this is an old thread but I just got a set of these in a deal and was wondering if there is some way to tell if I have a set from the "weak" batch. Also are they replacings the weak batch even if they arnt broken yet?So I finally got the warranty on the rockers underway and made an interesting discovery.
