OK first off I'm a complete noobie. Have had my teener for about 2 months now so I'm learning everything as I go.
Today I tore off my valve covers because car started running very badly. Had a big miss and lost almost all power. Was adjusting valves starting at 1 and working my way around, had a few that were in need of adjusting then I got to number 4 and found this. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i1028.photobucket.com-14688-1346548525.1.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i1028.photobucket.com-14688-1346548525.2.jpg) The nut was sitting in the bottom and the washer is just missing. Ran a magnet around and just no luck finding it. Dont know if its in the bottom end or what. I got some new washers and tightened it down but now it pushes the rocker down to far once its good and tight, (I think thats what its called, like I said I'm very very new) and I cant get a feeler gauge in to adjust the valves, Its pushed way down below the spring and very tight. I can move the far right one but the one on the left wont budge whatsoever. Any help and advice would be much appreciated. Am I going to have to tear this all apart and redo it or am I just missing something easy? |

I would check all of of the push rod tubes.I find it had to believe it could have walked into into the sump past the lifter. Are those swivel feet? I see rocker spacers.
I don't worry about the the flywheel mark except for #1. I just turn till the exhaust moves then back up. Carlos |

This was the whole point of my post above. A washer won't even get to a lifter due to gravity. IT WILL FALL INTO THE SUMP PRIOR TO THE LIFTER. Have you ever seen the inside of a case lately?? There are HUGE oil drains that are outboard of every lifter and just inboard of every push rod. If there were no drains, all the oil would stay in the heads and eventually you would have none in the sump. |
