No Darin it has nothing to do with the front bracket and I know exactly what caused it.

It's starting to get a lot more frequent. Generally bends a pushrod or two along with it. We can get hardened pushrods, but somebody needs to build a better rocker.......our stockers suck.

I was at 42 maybe 43 hundred rpm's and floated a valve and smacked a piston. I guess the rocker arm was the weak link.
