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!!

That's my bet as well. BTW I have a bunch of 7mm and 8mm wavy washers if you need. |

Thank you for the offer cuddyk....I found some new ones at local parts store. I can't imagine why there isn't a more fool proof way of securing these critical nuts. I will be using new 8.1 nuts whatever that is worth....hardness level I think. Thanks again, gg |
