Put the rocker assemblies back on my heads and drove home to san diego.
got very loud rocker noises coming from the engine re adjust the valves. drive it for a little while and bigger clacking noise and starting to lose power. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sad.gif) I think i *effed* it up installing the new studs and then torqing the rocker assembly nuts with my old torque wrench. thought i seated the studs properly, and torqued the nuts right, but now the valves dont seem to be holding an adjust. so what the worst that could have happened? stripped the studs from the heads right? |

I've only adjusted the valves once since i got the car.
Put maybe 2000 miles on it, and always thought it was a little clacky on the passenger side. Even had another person at the WCC comment that it sounded like it needed a valve adjust. I pulled one of the adjusters and it was pitted badly, hence the new adjusters and rockers. Only now its loud on both sides. Really loud valve noise. Flat cam. jEEEESH. Sure Hope not. I just spent 50 buck on oil and filters. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif) will know more this weekend. thanks for all the feedback. b. |
