I broke the rocker stud yesterday. Removed it today along with the rocker, pushrod seems to be fine. The car is parked in really bad neighbourhood so I was wondering if I can put the valve cover back, and drive the car for few miles.

Just get another rocker stud and make the quick repair.

Yeah the rockerstud is a very quick and easy repair just do it where the car sits, if you drive it like that you have an uncontrolled lifter among other issues

I already replaced the stud...5 min job, but I don’t have the poly lock that holds the rocker (because the broken upper part of the stud is still in the old lock). I ordered it but I will have in next Monday...

Maybe use a regular nut that will fit for the few miles? If not, towing would be best.
