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!!

Well.....???? I haven't found the missing washer yet.....maybe it doesn't even exist. Did the wire do this? I made a magnet probe with a N52 magnet and can't get even a sliver of metal on it.....pushed it down the push rod tube almost a foot....nuthin'.....I am all ears you guys....

The missing washer did not necessarily fall down inside the tube wth the damaged pushrod. It probably bounced around inside the valve cover a bit. |
