hey all
well, still got 0kms on the rebuilt motor and i've already broken it lol so, its started every time, seems to have a missfire & a bit rough, as expected from an agressive cam (Rspec4) and new engine - however, it decided to shatter a rocker arm this afternoon 
any thoughts? was only the one rocker arm (last intake valve), spring & valve appear fine. doubtful its PV, am using the machined RPD rocker gear (arms are std) - so am open to thoughts! car was not being revved at the time, was attempting to idle... cheers

Where did the rocker break, if it's at the tip where the HLA sits this can happen when tightening the rocker gear down, and a HLA goes in on an angle fracturing rocker tip and breaking at a later date. Know this from experience. As Rapier said put a new rocker arm on and its fixed, hope it's that easy..
