Awesome! We just finished up our new engine room so we can keep up with the demand.
As for the rocker axles, we have never seen that happen. What we've seen is rockers being ejected completely intact. This is a result of valve float and not anything deficient with the rocker assembly. When the valve spring cannot keep up you end up getting a large amount of valve lash and the rocker is no longer held in place. Then if you get unlucky it will be ejected. In theory if that happens enough the rocker axle may start to walk out of the rocker itself, which is maybe what happened in that isolated case we keep hearing about on the internet. But the solution is to use adequate spring pressure, and not necessarily do anything to the rocker.
