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? |

it aint fixed yet! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif)
I need to find some proper german wavy washers and get it back together to see if she still runs alright. I'm more than a little worried. Then plans to pull the motor and check/set up the geometry, powder coat the engine tin and paint the engine bay if i dont end up needing to rebuild the heads. If this motor goes south i'm going subaru (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/burnout.gif) |

I was thinking of rebuilding the original 36hp.
Want about a massive 36hp? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif) |

so i put the new rocker assembly's on with .030 spacers.
cyl #2 and #3 still are too close to adjust. Is there something about the rockers on those cylinders that makes them closer? I can see that those two are the same type. I need custom pushrods. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dry.gif) |
