I just got done with my fully built sr...and having peak mounts atw...misshifted into 2nd from 3rd @ about 7k rpms. Well it still ran...found one rocker arm guide and 2 shims plus 3 rocker arms broken in half...lifter sides still on lifters due to rocker arm stoppers...thank god...anyway I'm going to try and fish the other shims and guides out of the greddy oil pan hopefully and re-install 3 rocker arms ...providing all is in time still. Just wondering if this was ok since the cams look fine and so does the valvetrain. I really don't think I bent a valve..the car was smoking...but I believe due to the 4 intake valves not opening and the 2 exhaust valves not opening. My number is 865-604-9443...I'd rather not take the motor completely down if I don't have to.
