Preliminary Information
PIP5226D Needle Bearings Found In The Oil Pan During An Oil Change
Models
Brand: All
Model: All
Model Years: 2000 – 2021
VIN:
from to
All All
V6 or V8 push rod engines with roller rockers
Transmissions: All
Supersession Statement
This PI was superseded to update Model Years. Please discard PIP5226C.
The following diagnosis might be helpful if the vehicle exhibits the symptom(s) described in this
PI.
Condition / Concern
Technician may find needle bearings in the oil pan during an oil change.
Recommendations / Instructions
If a dealer finds roller rocker arm needle bearings during an oil change, inspect all the roller
rocker arms.
If a damaged rocker arm is found, only replace the broken roller rocker arm. Replacement of the
remaining roller rocker arms is not necessary.
During the repair needle bearings may also be found in cylinder head oil drains. Be sure to clean
the oil drains to retrieve the needle bearings that can be found.
There should be 66 bearings 33 a side, and again, replacement of the remaining roller rocker arms
is not necessary.
Note: The diameter of the needle bearing is larger than the oil pump pickup screen mesh preventing
the needle bearing from being pulled into the engine oil pump, so the oil pan does not need to be
removed.
Warranty Information
The correction for this concern may be one of several repairs described above. For vehicles
repaired under warranty, please use the appropriate warranty labor operation based on the actual
cause and repair.
Please follow this diagnostic or repair process thoroughly and complete each step. If the condition
exhibited is
resolved without completing every step, the remaining steps do not need to be performed.

- Whether you have a stock LS motor or a highly modified LS motor, replacing your rockers with upgraded Trunion Kit is highly recommended. The stock bearings have a tenancy to fail. These rocker arms are a must have for any aggressive heads and cam combo. LS Rocker Arms feature our BUSHING TRUNNION KITS. The Bushing bearing operate smoother and can operate at a higher RPM than even the caged bearing style upgrade.
- The bushing design provides superior lubrication to the trunnion while also providing maximum load capability. Our innovative design prevents premature failures caused by the weak O.E. or replacement needle bearings, eliminating the possibility of debris from a bearing failure that can cause severe engine damage. Our special C932 bushing material is bathed in oil via grooves at 2 different locations on the trunnion.
- These channels constantly feed oil to the bushing surface ensuring proper lubrication. The greater surface of our bushed trunnion will support 300 times more load than a needle bearing trunnion. Our bushing gets more lubrication and has less load applied to it than the bushing in the small end of a connecting rod, giving it long service life. Includes two stands - enough for both heads
