I dont think you all caught my post in the 2.4 section on my two cracked rocker rollers,well I have gotten the new ones today and the metal is thicker to prevent cracking and the lifter housing is smoother and deeper.Which now leads me to believe that GM knew of this problem and fixed it in the 07s and has not told us with the 05s and 06s.All three models use the identical lifters and rocker rollers=GM being sneaky

 

Can you post pictures of the two side by side? Thanks

 

Very interesting... pictures would be cool... there might be a problem with the earlier roller-rockers.

 

the one on the left is for the 05 and 06s the one on the right is 07s it is thicker metal but hard to tell from the piture

 

Might not be a bad idea to replace all of them now while it's apart if you ended up getting a decent deal on them, just a thought, could save alot in the long run.

Edit: No pics showing up.

 

The picture is a little out of focus but the lighter area on the right rocker is wider. I agree with bredick that it would be a good idea to replace them all for peace of mind. Another day or two won't matter down the road. Can you also post the part number of the new ones you just bought? And we appreciate that you are being the "guinea pig" for these new cams....

 

new one is definitely stouter....

 

You can definatly see the difference.

 

Damn there is a huge difference in those two. Gotta love GM pinching pennys.

 

well their piching pennies is gonna cost them big,they need to recall these,I could have blew the cams of the car

 

I dont see them doing that any time soon though. Considering they seem to like denying every ones warrenty claims I doubt theyll do a recall.

 

Anyone winding up thier engines up past the 7500s may want to look at this..

 

**** i was happy when i saw they give you thicker ones but then i realized that i'd be getting a new motor which equals same bullshit

 

wow, that looks alot beefier, what's the cost on the replacements, or did they warranty it?

 

why did they crack?
