What % Of Rocker Arms Are Failing?

[njspeedfreak]

For anyone with the old rocker arm variant. just don't keep the car until high mileage

That generally means trading in the old car for a new one, or selling it privately. In either case it's just passing the problem onto someone else to deal with, usually someone with a lot less resources to deal with it if it does eventually fail.

In my case it wasn't an option since the engine already failed, but my conscience would have really bothered me selling someone else that car for $25K+ knowing they probably weren't going to get more than a year out of it before it was a lawn ornament.
