Anybody pull this off before....Whoopss!!!!! Apparently I had a couple of shaft bolts back out on my jesel setup.......the result was snapping a tool steel rocker shaft clean in half........luckily it was at low rpm and i shut it down before it created any other damage to the motor........

nope thats the upside to running a 1piece 3/8" tool steel pushrod i guess lol...........it happened at low rpm and i shut it down within about 5 seconds of hearing it...........luckily nothing got damaged, the valves/mounts/pushrods look fine

wow that was nice i guess, other than the shafts them selfs snapping. Were you launching the car harder than you normally do. or was this just a fluke

I had that happen to me once, when I first installed the shafts, I tried removing and installing the shafts w/o undoing the lash, it worked but had one shaft break similar to yours. I had my local machinist just make me a new one with the same material, never had a problem after. Later Clint
