[RESOLVED] rocker arms loose or something??? W/ PICTURES

[rob1621]

I took off the valve cover and i was checking things out and noticed that the rocker arms (i think that them) on the top furthest to the left ones are loose and have a gap if they aren't being turned over, idk how to explain it really good, so im gonna post some pictures.....



I mean all the other ones are touching all the time, but these two touch when you turn it then don't, and are all loose and you can wiggle em around.


But yeah the pictures.....are kind big so ill do it in a different post.

If one is a different height than the others, I would think they would all be in need of replacement.

I don't know what point a "good" valve spring would be considered a "bad" valve spring, someone else would have to chime in about that. I can tell you that a bad/weak valve spring is more likely to have valve float or bounce, with chances of the valve coming into contact with the piston.

Was the shorter spring from the valve that bent?

You measure them and replace those out of spec.
