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 !!!!!
 

But something caused it to break.Did you find anything out?

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.
