Broken rocker.
started my truck and everything was fine. Was still in my neighberhood only about a quarter mile into my trip when suddenly I heard Tick,Tick,Tick,Tick........And the truck strarted sputtering.Turned around and slowly drove home. Thought I would find a broken valve spring and found this instead.
64 to 66 double hump head, cylinder #3 exhaust. Dont know why this happened but at least it was an easy fix.Threw one on I had laying around and it seems to be running fine!:p

Looks more of a stress crack. Doesnt look overheated in anyway. Usually you will see a pushrod go through the end of the rocker before that happens (if there is too much stress on the rocker)
Very lucky there

nothing lasts forever its a good idea to change the rockers during a rebuild or head job, personally id upgrade to roller rockers
