So last night I take off the valve covers and notice the rocker swivel feet don't sit centered on the valve stem? I guess that is what caused one of the swivel feet to break. How do you get the rocker to center on the stem, and were can I find 1 swivel foot? I can only find them in sets of 8, my other 7 are in good shape.

It broke because it's not very good quality, not because it is off center.
They are supposed to be off-center, that helps to rotate the valve, evening out wear and heat. Use real swivel-foot adjusters from a 911, not the cheap aftermarket crap. --DD |

That kind of break typically happens from your valve train geometry being off. Be sure at half lift you are perfectly perpendicular to the valve stem. My guess is you are way under that and hitting the edge of the adjuster on the valve stem.

Original swivel feet are strong, I can vouch for them. I had one take the end off a pushrod @ Hershey last April, I adjusted the swivel foot all the way in, and got the car back home to York.
