Re: 1972 Chevy p/u NewType Build
very valid points Mike and very helpful insight my current motor tuner and I deduced that the rocker arm simply failed and the way it fell led to bend the push rod.
I went ahead and made sure I found all metal chippings on the top of the head and double checked both sides adjustment looks like I'll need to have him do it one more time it puffin a lil smoke right now but it could be just cold out tonight.
got the new rocker on and had him adjust it correctly since we had to replace cylinder 2's rocker arm's completely since they were loose or fell like this one did.
Went ahead and clean her all up put her together and ran her around a little bit tonight I may do a longer run tomorrow sometime and use the sea foam treatment in the gas tank see if she'll run a tick better (I know it doesnt have anything to do with the valves but it was a treatment i wanted to try )
So final conclusion she runs and I hate that she was even down for 24 hours
