Good news! I finally got around to removing the affected cylinder head this afternoon, and confirmed the suspected miracle that the valves aren't bent! I'm still curious why I broke rockers instead of bending valves, but the question is strictly academic now. The other thing I'm wondering is whether the valve guides may be damaged, i.e. am I going to replace the broken rockers and put everything back together to discover that I have an engine that will now burn a bunch of oil?
