Default Another misfire in the Cobra!

I was out shopping today and was almost back to my house when the Cobra developed a misfire and a tapping noise in the valvetrain. When I got home I pulled the valve covers which requires removing the upper intake manifold and discovered that one of the rocker arms broke. To be precise it was the exhaust rocker on cylinder 3. To my surprise the pushrod was fine. However, I pulled the intake rocker off the same cylinder and found that the pushrod was bent. So obviously something happened to cylinder 3 but I have no idea what as of yet. I went by Phil's house tonight and picked up his cylinder leak down tester to help determine what else is wrong. If I'm lucky the whole cylinder will be F&#%ed so I will have an excuse to build a 331 so that Eric's car won't be faster than mine.
