alright! now that I just helped answer a question about correct valvetrain geometry lets see what happens when everything doesn't jive just right...
from what I understand my problem appears to be the length of the rocker stud, as I might not have enough threads under the poly lock.
this happened at 6,500 RPM... imagine the look upon my face when I heard it go.
luckly the valves seem to be just fine, haven't had time to do a leakdown yet.

was this rocker hitting the valve cover at all? any chance that particular valve may have been hitting a piston? its rare RARE for ARP studs to snap.. (assuming that's what you used..)

engine builder says that the studs are too short... and i used 3/8's studs, which do break often.
learning things the hard way.

I learn something new every day... I've never really heard of these breaking.. I know of many around here who use those -- but engine builder (would that be DSS? I thought you put it together yourself) would know more than I would 
Note to self: when upgrading to aluminum heads and downing to 1.6 RRs, upgrade...
