Found out why my motor won't run correctly, spitting out the intake....
valves were tight on this cylinder... took off the rocker shaft to replace an O-ring...rockers won't move on the shaft???? Turns out the rockers are galled to the shaft!!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) So for sure this was holding the intake valve open.... anyone have a set of rocker shafts? at a minimum I need 1 shaft and 2 rockers...I am running swivel feet so need a 1.7? rocker??? If anyone has a complete set of 8 I will take them all...please contact me ASAP so I can get this monster running.... PM or email to hberwald@stonyfield.com...if you want, you can call to 603.370.1467. thanks! |

Jake, I did clean out the pushrods.. I have not yet pulled out the lifters..
I will guess here and say that there was some grit left inside the arm from grinding down the end to fit the swivel feet. I will of course check the rest. I might have had a small chip inside the oil gallery. Although I don't see how it could have traveled through the lifter, pushrod arm to shaft..... The galled metal is the same on both arms...to the crank side of the rocker shaft. Now that I have the arms off the shaft, the score is about the same....so, how did I screw up 2 rockers in the same spot??? Makes you go hmmmmmmm... herb |
