We traveled from Monterey to San Luis Obispo..... what drive! Included Hearst Castle. Made an offer...... think they will counter offer.
Driving to dinner tonight, something busted. Sounds like another rocker. We'll pull apart in the morning.

Steve,
I can't help but wonder if you broke a 2nd rocker on your FE motor, are you getting enough oil to the top of the motor to cool the rockers, etc? Is it on the same side as the last rocker that broke? Is it possible the rocker shaft is possibly installed upside down or not enough oil is getting up there to the rockers? If you get stuck in CA with FE problems and can't figure it out, here is another number for you, call Tom Lucas at FE Specialties in Sacramento 916.339.0427 Hopefully its nothing serious. D
