Help!!!KNOCK KNOCK!! Snapped Rocker arm stud!!

Ok, we were making a few test rips on the street, I heated the slicks up and went to idle and all of a sudden, it died out and heard a slight knock. Tried turning it over once same thing. Found out today I snapped the Rocker arm stud on the exhaust side. I pulled the pushrod and its not bent, pulled the plug ok too. Anything else I should check? ARP here we come!! DOH!

Dude the only way you'll know is to fix it and strap it back together and see how she runs. I assume all parts are accounted for right?

broke a rocker stud....damn

Thats a pretty rare occurence. But he is right. You can only put it back together and see how it runs. You did the roll the pushrod on glass technique right?
