Long story short - driving on the highway, heard an obviously bad sound - but oil pressure and temp were both fine, and power was normalish... I drove it on home - got home, popped covers - this is what I found. Bend the pushrod when the valve spring broke. I think I hosed up the valve too - so the head is coming off - my main question is about this rocker - the pushrod still fits completely tight - I don't think I can easily find a single rocker - should I reuse this one?
background on the car - just bought it two weeks ago - that it's cammed is obvious, it has a trickflow upper/lower, 75mm tb, equal shorts, x-pipe, dumped flows, 24lb, 94 cobra MAF, BBK FPR, i've installed a mechanical oil pressure and fuel pressure gauges, steeda quad and cable. I didn't know I had roller's until I popped the valve covers... hell I dunno if the heads are stock.
