I hope you didn't bend a valve, probably did by the sounds of it, on a Chevy, you do not tighten rocker arms down. There is a procedure to do it right.

    The same rocker arm keeps breaking on my 912 every 3 to 6 months causing it to run very poor. Im thinking something inside the engine may need work?
