The myth

[BiG MiKE]

dang what did you set the rev limiter at?! 0.o

think it was like 6800-7200 cant remember but it wasnt over stock it just made a big bang when it hit

That's how they go. "9k rpm head" won't fix it either.

 

[BiG MiKE]

I think a fresh set of Rocker arms and proper maintenence(sp?) remedy this (atleast for a lil while)

whats the deal with parts breaking on motors? is this true or a myth? conspiracy?

how can I stop this?

Yes the break. Number one problem or fault of the Sr engine.
Install rocker arm stoppers. RAS. and hope yours doesn't break.

They fail at the rev limit so driving normal or racing and not going past 6500 would decrease chances of failure.
Drifting causes them to fail faster because your bouncing off the rev limiter and staying in the high rpms with a lot of load put on the engine.

jrok drain your oil and fill it with jb weld it will reinforce all the engine internals and make your sr hold 42 lbs of boost also remember to do reverse tap entrys like shant so you can have a super sticky motor

i just drain the oil and drive it for a week
(i really did this one time,oil filter threads stripped)
