Default Rocker arm support

Ok so I've had a really bad ticking sound and I was sure I had a bad lifter. I change the two on the back cylinder then I started to change the front ones and when I took the rocker box cover off the front cylinder I noticed the rocker arm support was broken on the front left side where the rocker arm pin goes through the support. Does anyone know if these are expensive if i get through the dealer? Not sure I would trust getting one of e Bay or some place like that.

seems to me the rocker arm support bracket is about a 35 dollar item. Not expensive at all. I'm assuming we're talking about a twin cam motor.

Here's a really handy link Hales,, the actual microfiche files that the parts guy at a dealership looks at,, and it includes prices.
Just enter your year and find your model,, there is a small learning curve looking though the stuff but you'll figure it out. You should bookmark this link;

It's handy to go to the dealer parts guy with the actual part number you need.

As mentioned, the support plates are surprisingly cheap.... about $32.50 online. (Assuming twin cam). The shafts are just $8.50 each, you'd do well to replace them too.
