Seems the pushrod may have been mounted wrong in this case. rich I could imagine that if a spring were to break, then the pushrod end could jump into & out of the rocker arm cup and tear up the pushrod. I would inspect the rocker arm cup for damage and pull the lifter and have a look at it while I was in there. I still have an extra set of stock pushrods and I believe some lifters around. I sold a different complete set of each to someone on here that was struggling with having hydraulic lifters vs non-hydraulic. I dont know if he ever used the set I sent him. |

Rocker and lifter cups both looked OK. Got the new spring and pushrod back in, covers on, and fired it up for the first time hitting on all four cylinders. First time I've driven it aside from driving it on to the trailer. It's kind of smoky, so I'll be digging in again sooner rather than later, but man is it nice to be able to fire her up.
Thanks all again for the help. |
