Today I have broken two (!) original type 4 8mm rockers during a dragrace meet...
Can't figure out how this could have happened, but no further damage was done to the engine: no bend pushrods, no bend valves. The latter really surprised me, as how the heck can these rockers break otherwise??
Whats wrong with this picture?:
The weirdest thing: I exchanged the broken rockers for two 'new' ones and the engine started on 4 cylinders and has the same compression as before...
I am totally puzzeled how this could have happend, but count my blessings as the engine runs fine now again...pffft.
