Re: Need advice on fixing broken rocker stud on Big Block..

Just wanted to say thanks to everyone for the help. I got everything all taken care of and drove the truck on Sunday with no noises, leaks, or break downs.

The no fire issue turned out to be that I tightened the rockers too much and they were putting pressure on the pushrods and slightly opening the valves so those cylinders had no compression. I popped the valve covers off, rechecked all the rocker arms and it fired right up.

Now that this has been resolved I'm hoping to put some miles on this truck!
