I did a lot of research on their rockers and saw a lot of complaints about them breaking but then i saw on here some were they came out with a revised version and the new ones are much more durable. maybe some one can correct me because i saw it a while back. Not trying to be a smart a** but your post reminded me of my "findings" a while back lol

Correct. Only the early ones had some breaking issues, and the problem has been corrected for a few years now.

I haven't seen a single bad post about the new revised version of the YT's. They seemed to have corrected their mistakes in the old design.

Good find. That would be a shitty way to lose an engine.

I did some research on scorpion roller rockers and there are all the same horror stories. Looks like there will be there failures no matter what roller rocker you go with. I'm going to be running .660" lift so there really isn't an option out there besides aftermarket rollers. I will just pull the trigger on the YT's and pray everyday.
