Re: Project "Vertically Challenged"

Well, I tore it apart and it had a rocker that slid off. I pulled the pushrod and it was bent. So I got a new pushrod, put it back together and it ran like a champ again. Took her out for a spin to Lowes, ran great...Made another quick stop, came out to fire it up and it did it again, rocker slid off. It seems to happen at low rpm's, like at start-up, or low idle...I do believe I have some lifters not doing the job correctly, so, tomorrow, I'll pull the intake and do some lifters and all new pushrods, and maybe new rockers although they seem ok...I'm thinking about changing the name of the thread to "Mechanically Challenged" lol...
