One time one of my valves hit a piston and broke the rocker arm in half and bent the valve....
I would check the comp before running it again.

I spoke with Jay today, he is concentrating on finishing up the resto on his trans am before digging into the boat, he has it well protected, and it will still be there when he gets the car done, for now he can ride with me on the pantera

Sounds like it's more than a "rocker arm"....... If it was only a rocker arm I would have fixed it and "then" have the boat sit in storage while I do other stuff, no?

That really sucks, sorry Jay...

Hey Old School, that is a nice looking Corvette. My dad has a 1969 427 convertible in the same color. Actually, you two might be related because he has that same pickup as well, in the same color as the one in the pictures! I guess you Corvette people are all alike, unlike us poor, common Camaro people!
