Yesterday I took my car out for a joy ride. I rode it pretty hard but no harder than usual. I Got close to home and stopped at the stop sign. When I took off the stud broke and I could hear the push rod hitting the valve cover.
When I had my vert and built the 306 the same thing happned. The 347 in my gt has had this happen 2 times now.
The rockers were adjusted perfectly, the stud was threaded into the nut atleast 3/8-1/2 of an inch and locked down tight.
My cam is the tfs 2 cam 224°/232° .339/.352 .542/.563 112° with trick flow track heat heads 1.6 roller rockers. I shift between 5500-6000 rpm i have a 6200 rev pill in my msd box sometimes i hit the rev limiter due to the alum flywheel, it revs really fast.
What could be causing the rocker studs to break?
