the guide plate stud is what the rocker is bolted down on, that is weird that the pushrod is missing. maybe it snapped and it is sitting in the lifter valley. not really sure.

get some answers from other people but you might need to pull off the intake manifold to get a good look down there.

Before you do anything I'd start pulling it apart.

found it ...it was in the lifter valley

fish around in the pushrod hole with a magnetic tool picker upper thingy(lol) and you might be able to get it out without pulling the intake.it is in there laying in the lifter valley,prob all bent up.id just replace that one rocker stud and then do a leak down test or at least a compression test on that cyl.

OK, order up 1 new pushrod from summit. Secondly that roller rocker poly lock is not broke that your holding. Its still good and the other ones in that pic are all loose. Find out how to adjust them correctly and I say you will be good. I think the person never adjusted them correctly and they were just loose. But order 1 new pushrod.

There might be a pat number on the pushrod. Order that one unless you will have to measure it and check it.

Check with Thunder Racing for the pushrods. I was going for a set of comp hardened rods but, ended up getting a set of their brand for a bit less. They looked identical to the comp ones.
