I had two of them where the pin holding on the roller was really loose, it came out on one the little metal rods fell out of the roller, is it possible to get two new Comp Rs, the rest seem fine, no groove on the roller, slight discolored from wear I guess but couldnt feel a groove in them.

 

I think you can order them one at a time from Comp.

 

Cool, theres about 4 in question, the pin holding the roller on is kinda loose, hate for needle bearings to come apart, what could cause that? I'll let you take a look at them when your in town in a couple weeks.

 

yeah and when it frigges up a 20k motor comp says oh well better luck next time ditch those garbage things

 

i had one chew up on me. and i ordered a single rocker from them for like 20 bucks or something.

 

After hearing this story over and over (compR failures) I sold a brand new set on Ebay for a loss rather than install them in a new motor with alot of $$ invested.
I ordered a set of Morrel's and just took the loss. They are expensive but damn nice.

 

I had about half my comp R's blow up, so i have about 7-8 ones that are still good if you need some i'd sell you all the ones i have left. You'll need the extras for replacements because those things are junk.

 

I dont plan to run them, I'm hearing to many things from LT1 guys I trust and who know their stuff. At this point I may just leave the motor stock and do heads and cam in a bottle.

 

Call comp and they'll sent you a new set and if you're lucky you can sell them to offset buying lifters that aren't pieces of ****.

Edit - That's what I did, but that was back when everybody just started figuring out they are pieces.

 

Mine did the same. Called comp they said they will send me three new ones. I said keep em and threw the rest to the metal man. you do the same

 

I had the trunnion roller bearing come apart on my Crane Gold narrow-body self-aligning rockers.
I counted the rollers I found to make sure I found them all, and took the Cranes off permanently.
I've been running Crower Stainless Steel ever since (35K miles) with no problems.
