Default RE: snapped a rocker stud !

I know , I spent alot of money having my trans updated, car painted and interior redone,

when it came down to the last parts= roller rockers, I had to sacrifice and get the cheap $70 ones you see.




Anyhow regarding the stud, these dam things are cheap, I used vice grips to hold the stud while i turned the nut to remove THE WHOLE STUD SNAPPED IN TWO DIFFERENT PLACES WITH REGUALR HAND PRESSURE! [:'(]


and then you look inside the stud itself and you see that cheap powdered looking metal crap !!!! the stuff those old bus bike forks on the front made out of![:'(]

anyhow replaced her, set lash on passenger side, she runs normal, no knocks, no ticks, no slag !! but woah!!!!! forgot cooolant is in my oil , thank god for just 45 seconds, now I need an oil change, ,.


this weekend ill set lash on driver side. [8D]

I ran mid 12's (12.48)withouth this cam, without a stage 3 x treme port(stage 2 before) at 78 degrees and sound system, street tires, no traction.


Im sure ill do a high 11 if not better with a retune, in which is worth $500 and every penny

after taking out sound system, replacing rear hatch glass with plexi glass, and getting some drag lites, and mickey's, coller temps, who knows.



I have no trouble with any LT1 , no ricer local, so im satisfied, I got tired of them keeping up or smoking me stock. Every shift is a chirp in the tires too yes i have an auto
