you all post like you alll are the everknowing gods, but to drive it across the parking lot isnt going to hurt it(as long as the broken piece isnt jammed in the cam lobe area.)
I have driven plenty of m20s with broken rocker arms-- even one from Amsterdam to southern Germany -about a 7 hour drive.
A few years ago i drove my 320 wagon for months with a broken rocker- yes i was too lazy to fix it, and the people love the sound of the fart out of the intake when it backfires.
please explain to me how it would hurt anything.

haha i just found this. the thing hasn't moved since May. i did go out and had to charge the battery back up, there must be a small drain somewhere because it took awhile. so thar it sits cost me $180 in insurance just to sit there, oh well. i think i'll fix the rocker this weekend, maybe not. we'll see.
