Makes sense, but I honestly would rather know that it is sealed up properly without the tabs. I get what you are saying for sure though, probably not the best move, but I like redoing things.:p
Disassembled everything and had it checked out. Nothing found. Put it all back together and all is still good(except a couple different issues) with about 50 miles on it. No signs of coolant leaking or milky oil.
No. I put a new rocker and pushrod in and it runs perfect again. Haven't driven it under boost yet, but seems ok at this point. I'm just seeing if anyone has had this happen so I could check for possible issues.
Thanks, Cory
I'm on a roller. I tried to look at the cross brace last night, and as far as I can see it is still in place. #5 is hard to see. I can see every other cross brace with ease on that side.
Just pulled the heads to check gaskets. Pulled a couple rods and mains to double check bearing. Other than that it is exactly as before except the pushrods and timing chain set. Same Fel Pro 1000 gaskets.
Running ARP head studs, so the head should not be lifting at 20psi.
Morel lifters. Only 20-21 boost. Never had any issues before. The only change I made was replacing the TC set with a T/A billet set. I was on it when it popped.
The rocker does not look hot at all, and they are oiling. It was the exhaust rocker that broke, and it's pushrod is straight. The intake rocker on the same cylinder is fine, but the push is bent.

It was running good. I pulled the motor due to milky oil, I didn't find any issue visible to me, but this now has just happened with about 20 miles on it after getting it back together.
