Here is a stresser.....my '73 2.0 lost power and during diagnosis found out rocker arm shaft had come loose and fallen out. No damage to anything except a groove worn into the pushrod two inches in from the valve cover side. I found the two nuts but only one wavy washer. Car runs with no noises or any odd sounds but I hate to button it up without finding the missing washer. Changed oil and nothing on super magnet plug. Any ideas where it might be?? Thank you!!

1. I would assume the cut in the pushrod is from the retaining wire that either released and moved when the rockers shaft released or was incorrectly mounted to begin with.
2. It might be that the shaft released because you were missing that wavy washer, that's there to prevent the nut to untie under vibration. 3. The only place that washer can go is in the pushrods tubes. There's no way for it to reach the combustion chamber without a big hole in the head. Also it can't pass to the crank side. |
