So there I was drving home to Indiana from New Jersey right in the middle of PA, and my supercharged Z broke down on me. Just picking it up from my motor shop the day before, I tried to get them to come and help me out. Unfortunatly they offered to get a flat bed on the way, but I would have to pay for it in full. As I looked under the hood, I saw this picture I took of a gaping hole in my valve cover. Fortunatly I brought a small tool box with me, and I was able to take off the valve cover. With some help over the phone with a few friends, I was able to determine that I broke a rocker stud for the exhaust side of #3. I fortunatly was able to disconnect the injector, take the pushrod out, take off the rocker arm, and remove the spark plug and drive it home on 7 cylinders. After I got home I found that I had the wrong size pushrods throwing everything off.

Everything is now replaced with the exception of my valve cover which should arrive in the next day or two. I am just happy I was able to get the car home safely without having to pay for a tow.
