Alan, I've done several sets of Clark's Rockers. They are by far the nicest "stock" rockers that I've seen. Now, send me just one of your rockers. I'll treat it and provide you with a sample to try. It's on the house, what da you have to lose .JB

Jim,

Wouldn't the ultimate solution be to deburr (especially the oil hole), cryo, then shot peen to impart compressive stress? Deburring removes stress risers and small tears. Cryo will stress relieve and improve grain structure. Shot peening will leave the entire outside surface in compression. Nothing fails in compression.

Am I thinking correctly?

Thanks
