well at least with this car. Just out running some errands this morning and all of a sudden it started popping real bad. Trailered it home and this is what I found. Not a big deal but it does finally give me a reason to take the valve covers off and powdercoat them.

WTF? What brand rockers? Did the rocker just break or did a lifter fail? How is that pushrod?

The pushrod is fine so I'm thinking just a broken rocker arm. I was only going 35mph down the road too. Not sure on what brand they are.

Yep, that last one doesn't even have the coating on it anymore. Could have been a LOT worse Kenny!!

I know it could have been much worse I feel lucky it didn't happen durring a 7k burnout. Just another reason to upgrade.

Looks like that last one is a different brand...guess one already broke with the previous owner. I got a set of comp pro magnum 1.6 stud mounts for sale if your interested..used them for 2 months on my new heads at the end of last season. I'm running shaft mounts now.
