Base C6 rocker arm issues?
A friend of mine who owns an 08 just found out that two of his rocker arms were loosing their bearings. I know this was an issue with the Z06 but hadn't heard of this with the LS3. Is this a known issue with the LS3?

I don't know if it's an issue with the LS3, but it's been around a very long time.
I owned a 1998 Trans Am with the LS1. Needle bearings fell out of one of the rocker arms way back then.
1998 was the 1st year for the LS1 in the F-Body cars, and only the 2nd year for the Corvettes, so the problem has been around a long time.
