Yes these are the push-rods and cylinders from the 2 rocker arms failed. Both rocker studs brake. They have the exact same damage.
I was also discussing it with Eric earlier. He suggested to do a drain check (if I say that correctly). To remove all rocker arms and have a mechanic to check that. To make sure that all valves and pistons are ok. My car has also a rev limiter at 6000rpm - so I do not think that this damage was from over-revs.
Yes I have done at least 10-15miles like that. Maybe more - I really do not know how many. If the car was like that from the day I got it (99.99% sure that car was like that cause I never felt a difference when I was driving it) then I have done more than 150miles - who knows how many the previous owner...
Good to know about the 1pice push-rods and thank for mentioning about the gaskets... Thank you for the info.
Yes I put the intake back on - so nothing bad / dirt / dust goes inside. If needed I can take some more pics to better see the cylinder heads and find the correct gaskets.
For your information I was about to order the following gasket:
1262-S - Fel-Pro intake gasket set
