Any suggestions on what rod to Weld with for this application?
Kevin With the way the head of the ALLEN bolt is bent I can't think of any JB Weld that would ever be strong enough. Looks to me welding might(???) work but replacing the part and bolt is the only solution IMO. If you want to try JB Weld, as you asked, the original long cure JB Weld epoxy is (according to JB Weld) is the strongest when finally cured. https://www.jbweld.com/our-videos

Looks to me welding might(???) work but replacing the part and bolt is the only solution IMO. The adjuster isn't actually bent. It's got a foot that swivels. Just happened to land that way when I set it down. It's an exhaust rocker for a 3406E/C15 Cat. You think Hemi valve train parts are $$$. They are fairly famous for breaking which astonishes me given it's almost an inch thick solid $teel and these run almost nothing for spring pressure, 55 closed 180 open. It's a paper weight now. Lol Kevin

Kevin I'm thinking this is a joke. Regardless, I'd call the good folks at Rocker Arms Unlimited and see what the they have to say. They just repaired an Isky adjustable rocker for me.

$270 for a single rocker arm and a core charge on top of that? Even though that's Canadian money it's still crazy.

You installed this yourself ? I looked at the bill and it doesn’t look like they did the labour but maybe that was a different invoice ? Which prefix of cat have you got I’m wondering. Did this make a bunch of noise when it broke or how did you notice something was wrong. I have a cat in my truck and I’m interested to know what happened here. Yes, the install was over and above. Took an hour plus the service call. About another $300. Kevin

Seems they have a small wall thickness & it's cast iron. Yes, it's cast. Not sure what I was thinking other than the roller end is machined all sides and looks like billet. Those casting marks do give it away tho... Kevin
