It might still be. I still don't know what caused the valves to bind up enough to break a rocker and bend a pushrod. I'm going to do a leak down test tomorrow and go from there.

That's kind of what I'm use to seeing. The shocker was the broken rocker. The only time I've broken a rocker before this was when my dad and I first built the 396 in the Chevelle when I was 17. The guy who built the heads didn't set them up for the lift on the cam we had and the springs went into coil bind and pushed the pushrods right through the back of the stock stamped steel rocker. We then had the heads redone and my dad bought the Crower roller rockers that are still on the car today.
