Sounds pretty reasonable to me... In fact, it sounds too cheap! Is this just labour or supply and fit?

But it begs the question as to why only one rocker arm :-/ :-/ :-/

Whatever it is... I didn't do it

Has it got a stuck valve?

Cant think of any other reason why the rocker would snap.

Check the guides carefuly once the head is removed!
