>>>>o i pulled the rocker shaft assembly and push rods to find 1 bent and one worn about 1/3 or the way through.<<<<< Not normal, how is the oil passage/pressure into that push rod, remove the valve cover, put a pan under head and start engine, check flow at each push rod / rocker assembly. Where this push rods full of oil? That is how i adjust clicking valve, wile the engine is running. The bent one doesn't worry me but the worn one do, carefuly monitor the valve gap on this pushrod, by that i mean, if the number of turn in is changing with time. To do so, unscrew the adj. screw until you have 0 gap or so, take note, check it back in 3000 miles to see if there is a difference. Ben |
