Re: 383 Stroker, fresh build, rocker stud broken...

In the picture the other rocker is way out of alignment. There is a lot of stuff going on here with the side load on the pushrods the stud breaking and the alignment of the rockers. Who built the engine and where did the heads come from? Were the springs installed to match the cam specs and were the pushrod lengths measured and the correct length pushrods installed. Are those the correct guide plates for those heads. Some heads take special guide plates. And lastly are those ARP or elcheapo rocker studs? I lied, time to pull the intake and check the lifter. If you were running 75 when it let go there is a good chance you got the lifter.
