Default Broke a pushrod in an A4 with only boltons!

For some reason, my car only has full exhaust, a converter, pully, and a lid. My rev limiter is set at 6300 and I have not ever hit that. My car shifts at 6100 too. Anyways, the other day I wasn't even driving my car hard or anything, I only took it up through second gear without downshifting and all of a sudden I have my SES light blinking as a result of a misfire after I came to a stop. My car continued to misfire after that. We went through alot of things before we finally pulled the valve cover off and noticed that my intake pushrod on the #6 cylinder had decided to disappear down into my head. So right now my head is off and the pushrod breaking beast will be back together tomorrow.

That's poopy. Good luck! I wonder why it would break like that? Must have been a casting flaw.
