Re: Need advice on fixing broken rocker stud on Big Block..
Sounds like you will need a new set of springs to match that cam. I would pull the heads and have them worked. Rocker studs come in different lengths and yo may need a longer one for that setup you have. Pull a couple and see how many threads are in the poly locks. Should be about a 1/2". Next take a look at the push rod length verses stock to see if for some reason it has a longer set of push rods in it. With a project you just never know. While apart look at the lifter and the cam in the cylinder that broke the rocker stud. Since you drove it some there is a chance it could have gotten beat up.
