I'll post a couple of pictures tonight of what everything looks like right now.

The intake rocker arm for cylinder five is broken in half.

I popped off the left intake valve cover and it is also dry.

The engine is still in the car, so I don't know the extent of the damage yet. I have a couple of other projects with higher priority right now, so I'm not sure about when I'll be able to drop it out.

As I was driving the oil pressure was near the top of the scale the entire time. What would the pressure be in a properly running engine?

The oil was changed with the filter to Mobil 1 5W-40 shortly before I got the car. I need to drain it and see if there are any filings in there. With the way the rocker arm looked, I would be surprised.
