Rocker Arm Issue

[C5NGAGE]

Is there a way to determine if the rocker arm bearings are falling out besides finding the rollers in the oil during oil changes? noise, engine operation, performance? Has any one put in the after market arms as a replacement?

I would think you'd see/feel/notice a reduction in performance as the loss of the bearings would, I believe, affect the valve opening.

Pull the rocker covers and remove each rocker for inspection.

You don't need to remove the rockers themselves, just inspect the cages for failure.
