Guys, I would suggest you take a very good look at the condition of all head studs. I have a VW Type 4, these things never brake them, well they do.
My engine was running poorly and running on 3 cylinders I could not tune it. I removed the tappet cover and found 2 inches of a broken head stud from No 1 cyl. with the nut attached, fowling the rocker on No 2 cylinder. On close examination I found a very small nick , or mark on the stud, that is where it snapped. I would suggest new studs when you first build your engine. Just my 2 cents worth.
