Pulled a valve cover this weekend to un-stick a lifter and found something else that kind of took me by surprise. In addition to a stuck lifter there was also a broken rocker arm on an intake valve! Have any of you ever had this happen? The car hasn't seen very hard use, but does run at about 3000 rpm on the highway. All this time I thought the acceleration lag I had was caused by carb problems. The car still ran great otherwise. I'm almost tempted to pull the other valve cover to see what's up. How common of an occurrence is this?
