    Very cool! Never seen a stock rocker arm break like that…
    Where did you source the adjustable rockers from? Dare I ask how much they cost?

    Not sure why the rocker broke. Nothing was binding and the valve wasn't stuck but it did have a lot of wear across the tip... maybe it got hot enough times that it fatigued and failed? The heads went to the machine shop for a rebuild and we found these rocker assemblies at Ross Racing Engines. They're very nicely made. The owners name is Tony. Leave a message, he calls back and will provide pricing.
