Why are my Rocker Arms Breaking?

I really appreciate everyones input!!

Well, there are a couple of pieces here. If the rebuilder screwed up something so simple, then you have to wonder about the rest of the engine But the only fix for this would be to tear the thing down...and that's certainly not free. So for the shortblock you have to decide how confident you are. Nobody can give you that answer you could always at least just pull the heads to have a look....but honestly it wouldn't tell you much.

For the rocker breaking, you're going to check everything...so at least on the valvetrain geometry you'll be sure that it's right and you won't break anything else there.

If it was me, I would probably roll the dice on the shortblock and square away the rockers. Do not use this to kick my a$$ later if the thing goes up
