So doing a valve adjustment i found #3 intake to be very loose. I started to adjust and then found this. Why/how did this happen?
Also, why are my leakdown tests consistently 20% leaking through the case? Rings? I did it cold and the engine looks to be rebuilt from how clean the inside of the heads were. |

That stinks Bob.
So I put a good used one in its place. Torqued it back up and move o to cylinder 4. Im hoping what I found here was a rocker shaft nut and nothing more. The nuts on shaft 3 are copper, not the stock ones. I believe the PO said he had to fix a rocker on number 3 lets hope this is the only hardware that got left behind |
