Broken push rod- TR 4

["bruce britt" <bebritt@gate.net>]

Listers,

Lost #1 cylinder on way home from British Car meet in Winter Park, Fl.
 nice event ).
New spark plug didn't help. Limped home on 3 cylinders ( no fun ).

Upon further inspection found broken push rod, intake #1 cyl, broken, about
1/2 inch from top.
all new break. What would cause this? Everything else seems o.k. as far as I
can tell.

Anyone have this happen?

Maybe it got out of adjustment?

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.
