They are indeed plastic now, not sure when they changed. Here is a link that shows one:
Ford Rocker Arm Clip, Plastic
I think they are for assembly purposes only, but want to make sure. Anyone who knows please reply.
Thanks,
Fred

Rocker arms can be removed without removing the cylinder bolts. But to do so, requires use of this tool:
https://rotunda.spx.com/en-US/Pages/...x?itemID=18452
This tool is used to to compress the valve springs by clamping down on the valve bridges, with the fuel injector removed.
If you do manage to obtain this tool, be very careful not to drop the rocker arm pivot ball during rocker arm removal. Removal by this method ensures that cylinder head to block clamping is not disturbed.

I always hate searching for information, finding the thread that has just what I am looking for and then there is no finish, no outcome so to say. With that said, I replaced the broken rocker retainer clip today, with no issues at all, it slipped right in. No really, it did. Popped right over the pedestal and clipped on. Thanks for the heads up about this M-Chan.
