302 rocker arms

Can bad rocker arms make the push rods continue to break if they are no good ?

if you have something other than stock you can certainly create an issue ..though i`ve not heard of push rods bending to the point of breaking . something big is going on ..coil spring bind if you have too big a cam on stock type springs .. lifter over pump up if you have a hi volume/ pressure oil pump . valves actually contacting the pistons at high rpms..though the valve usually loses in that case ..too long of pushrods if you are non stock .. to tight of valve adjustment if they are adjustable ..

Thanks for the info and no the push rods don't break in half the ***** at the end of the push rods connecting to the rocker arms and valves always were breaking
