Hello everyone. Went for a drive today and car ran great, stopped for fuel and when I started back up I heard a horrible rattle coming from cylinders 3 and 4 valve cover. After a tow home I found this. At least 1/4" gap from rocker to valve tip. I turned the engine over slowly and did get the rocker arm to slightly open valve. I thought how could a solid lifter collapse?
I also pulled the rockers and pushrod. The pushrod was not bent. I looked down the pushrod tube and saw 'C' clips on the lifters. Is there such a thing as solid lifters with 'C' clips? Thank's for the help. ![]() |

From the picture, doesn't look like a dropped seat, a differential test would help confirm that. That rocker looks pretty far "back" compared to the others while the top of the stem looks in line.
If it's just a lifter, agree with others, ensure to confirm your cam, get a matched lifter. You may get lucky that's all it is. |
