I'm not a fan of Scorpion rockers. Had one rocker in the set that should have been caught in even a cursory inspection at the factory since part of the mold gave way and the center slot was almost solid aluminum. Plus Scorpion seems to think that adding bulk to the rocker is the only way of increasing strength. Take a look at the photo above and notice the distance from the pivot fulcrum to the top of the lifter is massive. It is the least likely rocker to clear any valve cover except for the tall 3". If Cliff is breaking those, then all that excess aluminum isn't doing any good.
