    The car blew the upper radiator hose bringing it home. Don't know if the car overheated or not as the idiot light never came on and there is no temperature gauge. I was working on it over the weekend and noticed that one of the rocker arms was busted in two. How common is it to break a rocker arm? This was on the number one cylinder for the valve on the right of the cylinder which would explain why this cylinder was not firing. Would the leak (water in the cylinder) cause enough pressure to break a rocker arm?
