ouch! i may change my winter project from a new rad and hoses to new rockers!
how hard were you running when that happend? any damage to the pushrod?
 
I was idling at a light. I heard a "Dink" from up front it started to idle a little rough and shook like hell over 1500 rpm. By the time u got home it was blowing a ton of smoke
My only hope is that it didn't mess up the lifter or can. After seeing the other post with strikingly similar pics I'd say if you or anyone else has proforma make it a top priority to help the environment and recycle some low grade aluminum
 
Haven't had a chance to tear that deep into it yet. I wanted the rockers right away soil could measure. For new pusheids. Ill post the autopsy results soon ad they're in
 
was looking around LMR and the only ones they had were the proforms and like one set of trick flow then i went to summit and they had a **** ton, anyone have a part number for the comp cams ultra gold 1.7's?
Didnt comp cams go out of business last summer or was that another old part mfg?
 
i ordered my 1.6's from goodies they had the best price and they were in stock

1.7 w 7/16 stud #19049-16 drop the 6 for just one
1.7 w/ 3/8 stud #19048-16 drop the 6 for just one

I got lucky the lifter shot the push rod up so hard it wedged itself very high between the cobver rail and the broken arm and stayed away from the moving parts. The lifter also shot up but just hard enough to jam itself on the wishbone but not dislodge it so the sister lifter stayed clocked correctly and i didn't loose oil press and wipe the whole engine. I'll change the lifter out just for good measure though.

I have to say the COMP CAMS C/M pushrod held up GREAT, snapped the rocker got jammed as i said ealier but it's still straight as an arrow.
