How can you tell if a rocker arm has come loose or broken on a 1995 eight eight Oldsmobile engine?
The rocker arms are located under the valve covers. They are simple to remove. Remove them and crank the engine over to make sure all of the rocker arms are moving.
Why does Rocker arm cut into stud?
You have to much lift on the camshaft lobe, They make a long slot rocker arm that looks like a stock rocker arm but it will not cut into the stud. The slot is where the rocker arm fits over the stud. If you are not haveing coil bind problems with the valve springs are broken springs then you can keep the cam that's in it and just use the long slot rocker arms are roller rockers to fix you problem.

How do you fix a rocker arm if it is loose or broken in your car?
Your best bet is to buy the manual. There are multiple ways of adjusting rockers and it depends on the vehicle. Your loose rocker arm may also be an indication of a bent push rod, bent valve, or worn out cam. there are 2 types of rocker arm studs pressed in and threaded in. if it is pressed i suggest buying the same size threaded stud, tapping the hole and using 2 stacked nuts screw it into the hole in the head. if its threaded just remove the old one and thread in the new one, be sure to check torque value for this application answer if a rocker arm is broken, u need to remove rocker cover the rocker arms are all on one tube bolted to the head remove the nuts that secure this tube slide as many rocker arms as need to get to broken rocker arm, off the tube replace with new rocker arm replace others that u needed to remove. sit tube with rocker arms back in place making sure that u align all rocker arms to the proper place tighten securing nuts to proper torque over tightening will break the studs then adjust rockers to specs if engine has hydraulic lifters you will not have to adjust replace rocker covers using new gaskets if the rocker ram is loose, adjust to specs if engine has hydraulic ligters, torque to specs job is done

YES IT IS. THRE IS AN OPEN LOOP INTO THE CRANKCASE AND ALLOWS OIL COMING OFF THE ROCKER ARMS AND OVER THE TIMING CHAIN TO COME DOWN AND RETURN.
Can all rocker arms need replacing at the same time?
Yes and they should all be changed at the same time.BUTIf you are changing rocker arms it indicates the inside of the rest of the engine is badly worn. DIETL: I have replaced a single rocker and would again if it made sense. In the case where I replaced one, the rocker had experienced a bearing failure likely due to a defective bearing from new. All the other bearings were fine and the rockers operating well. That car is still running over 50K later with the one changed rocker.I've personally only seen three failure modes for rocker arms. First is worn bearings in the rocker (if fitted - some model cars have no rocker bearings). Second is a worn bearing surface where the rocker contacts the valve stem. Third is a broken rocker.It would be a very rare occurrence for all rockers to break. It would also be relatively rare to have all rocker bearings fail. This would imply a lubricant failure. In this case, I'd say that a lot more than your rockers are damaged. In the event that the valve contact surfaces are worn, I'd suspect that your cams are worn as well. The latter two are both conditions that imply significant general engine wear.

Either the oil filter was not tightened enough, or it was over-tightened and the seal ruptured.
