http://s167.photobucket.com/albums/u...nt=rocker2.jpg ...Rocker pic...there are a few more there.
Gonna see what comp says today, just hoping they'll sell me 1 or 2! I checked the remaining seven and all seemed fine, rod wasn't bent, and hoping
there isn't any valve/piston damage.
Julien, its stranded at my shack in the mtns til I get there again in a few wks. I'll fix the rocker, some burnt wires, and see whats up from there. If there is still more damage, it will stay up there and I'll work on it myself. From here on except for tuning and tranny work, its gonna be a labour of love. I don't mean to slam anyone, but this stuff isn't rocket science, which makes it all the worse considering how badly ICS Performance in ct FUCKED up my build. If after further work it looks really screwed, I'll pull this motor and tranny and buy a crate 402/Turbo and drop it in...

Sorry for your troubles, it is always heartbreaking to see people having issues with their builds.
That will just open up another can of worms.
I am sorry, but I have YET to see ONE of these custom builds go without one issue. Turbo or blower, when you go for the gusto you are going to have issues. If you are looking for a daily driven reliability get away from the custom chit.

You better find out what caused those rockers to break. Don't just replace 1 or 2, replace them ALL! Make sure you have the correct length pushrods, that are not bent, for the rockers you're using, and verify your piston to valve clearance.
