I was on a drive two days ago and after 10 min on the freeway the engine note changes and it takes more pedal to maintain speed. I found an exit and visually checked that my timing hadn't slipped ( it hadn't). My number 1 plug was oily and black, all others were fine. I have since changed plugs and the engine will not accelerate as cleanly as it had before. I have yet to check the plugs again since a test ride. Before this problem it had been running great for a long time.
The engine is a 2.0L, 9350 cam, 40IDF, 009 dizzy. |

I finally have had some time this weekend to get the car up and investigate further. The rocker shaft on #1 cylinder had lost its nuts and the rocker shaft was left lying inside the head. That's the good news, bad news is the washers are present though the nuts are completely missing.
Is there anywhere they could have gone in the rocker box? I have ran a magnet tool down the pushrod tubes and found no debris. |
