Broken rocker arm
Hey
Broke one of my rocker arms just now while doing 0-60mph when hitting rev limit at 1st gear. (7200 rpm)
Noticed that it only ran on 3 cyls, drove it carefully home and picked off the valve cover. remover the cam, changed the rocker arm. Mounted it up again and its still running on 3 cyls. Sounds like it lacks compression on one cyl as well.
What i'm wondering about is, what is the most "common" damage done by a shattering rocker arm at rev point.? Could it be a broken lifter? as simple as that? I'd hate to pick off the cyl-head since it's been on for two weeks. :P
I need experiences here.
