I am no expert but my boys 350 roller rocker engine started missing a ticking and we pulled the valve cover off and found one bent push rod we replace it with a set of the best we could find at PAW and put it back and set the valve adj and worked fine ever since. I believe these where hardened tipped one. Sounds to me that the temper was wrong for the push rod to snap like that, they were over hard and brittle. good luck hope someone that knows more will help you. Ed ke6bnl
