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!!

I had a Porsche 912 (616) motor that a PO had built, and when I pulled the heads to check the top-end internals, found that he 'forgot' to reinstall wave washers and new o-rings in various places. Don't discount the worth of wave (spring) washers ... the do the trick just fine.
