low oil doubtful, that would affect a lot of moving parts.
sludge blockage in lifter or push rod blocking oil supply more likely.
weak metal in the rocker maybe.
The rocker on the left is what it should look like.... just a small hole in the middle
The rocker on the left is what it should look like.... when its been destroyed!!
The push rod came out wedged inside the rocker... I pulled it out and it fell to pieces.
Very strange. Did you ever find the rocker dimple that popped off? It made a perfect circle. Intake or exhaust valve? The only thing I can think of is someone floated the valves and a piston slapped into it.
