broken stock rocker shaft

[BIGPSI]

i broke one on passenger side,it split right at the bolt hole.
now my next issue is that i have a pushrod bent bad enough on #6 cyl that i can't get it out of the head. should i just pull the intake and cut it off,or did i damage any valves. this is the first time i have broken one. what do you think shouild be my method to fix?

bend it back as you pull it out

find another shaft
move on just try to not spin it up so far and watch the tune
been there done that a few times

Test the new shaft for hardness, I got one once that wasn't hardened, cost me a motor.

I haave some extra rockers and pushrods if you need them.

Be careful when bending the pushrod to get it out...if it's cracked at all it may break off...they are brittle...once out and replaced do a leakdown to determine if the valves are OK
