Jeff,

Yep it sure was a Jesel! It is the second one I have broke. They are breaking at the adjuster. I talked to them at Jesel and they said that if you don't use a torque wrench to make sure you don't over tighten them you will stretch the threads and weaken the rocker at that spot. Since I am the second owner of this motor, I am not sure how they were tightened. I just bought 16 new rocker arms so I can start over fresh. They treated me really fair on the price!
