Darrel saw your post about the retainer hitting the rocker the grooves that the keepers sit in are wiped out the valve wont brake but the heads need to come off and the valves need to be replaced also the valve spring is longer when the retainer shifts down the valve so you have lost valve spring pressure the short term cure is to shim the rocker arm if possible and extend the screw .030 would be alot to shim but I would start there good luck Bob |
