Re: Houston we have a problem over !!!!!
That is correct mostly but these are what are known as shaft mount Rocker Arms from Jessel, not the cheap ones either. The carriers that the shafts bolt to is what broke.
I am going to replace all of the lifters and push rods, the one carrier on the one side that broke and use all new ARP bolts and lock tite to hold it all together.
Thats the plan anyway........... If I can ever get around to working on the stupid thing. Damn woman has me cutting granite and marble for the upstairs bathroom.
GRRRRRRRRRRRR cant go on the war path cause im stuck in the bathroom!!!!

Re: Houston we have a problem over !!!!!
Just about
Got some surgery last friday and doing some light work around the house
xmas lights and other crap (weird being in shorts, no shirt hanging xmas lights on palm trees) but I might try to get the boat home this weekend and tear down the top half and find out any and all issues with this engine and get to Herb's to get some parts but depends on how I feel.

Nothing big to worry about here.

Re: Houston we have a problem over !!!!!
Yeah I over Revved the thing while I was idling up the ICW. Started to load up and I popped it up to about 6200 or so and well it gave way.
Lesson learned.
Next to install is rev limiters to prevent this from happening again.

Re: Houston we have a problem over !!!!!
I wouldnt think rapping on it would do that.atleast not 6200.My Camaro has less valve train than yours, I clean it out at 7500 before making a pass every time.
