Verifying valves are set properly and I can't adjust one of the exhaust valves past zero lash without tremendous effort. The associated pushrod doesn't budge. None of the others are that way. Do I need to pull the lifter or is there a chance I can run it at zero lash for a few minutes and try adjusting it again without hurting anything?

Ok, I got the #3 rocker off and pushrod out easily enough. Do I need to take the other rocker off too in order to move the retainer spring out of the way so I can pull the #3 pushrod tube out enough to remove the lifter? And do I need to be at TDC for that cylinder as well before attempting to remove the rocker?
I have a feeling that if I do have to remove the retaining spring, that getting it back in the right spot and getting the rockers back on is going to be a big pita. Thanks for the continued help everyone. Hoping this isn't anything more than a stuck lifter or one that needs replacing and not something worse that requires an engine tear down. |
