Its funny how the technology moves.

If the lift is beyond the mechanical abilities of the rocker, they bind and break through eventually. The rocker that has the "ball-o-sludge" is due to lack of lubrication at some point. It got hot and the oil that made it to the rocker was baked in place. You need a good set of roller rockers or a set of long slot stamped rockers. Use cam lube on the pivot balls for the initial start-up.
