Why do I keep breaking rocker arms?

Looks like a stepped bolt. The cups are close to 7/16" by my measure, and I measured almost all of them. Also a sh***y picture of adjuster and cup. Shoulda taken more of this one. I ran the engine but couldn't get a shot of the rockers and keep it from stalling out at the same time.

All of this is happening while I'm still driving the car. Despite this discussion it's a total blast to drive, and it's also, other than my work truck, my only vehicle. Since I'm being forced to drive like a gentleman, I'm appreciating how smooth and responsive the car is since the new distributor and tuneup.

Be careful with the torque on that bolt. Since it's a smaller thread than the rest, the torque spec is lower. The thread size on that I believe if I remember right is only 5/16. That means torque spec is light at around 15LB FT, I don't CARE what the book "says", so watch it! If you break it, they are HARD to find!
