my motor is ticking. its almost the same sound i had last winter. last winter i sherred the dial pins off my crank. but we checked it and my flywheel was tight. any idea on what i could be in trouble for? its just a stock motor and the only upgrade is a 2 barrel.

thanks guys,
dave

check the valves? adjust them see if it helps.

2 of my rockers are looseone i dont think is adjusted right but the one i can move it about a 1/4 side to side. i dont think thats normal. right?

do you run stock rockers? if so you probably broke spring washer. its the wavy one.

ya stock. it just seems to be the rocker. ill check in a sec and post

the spring n washer are fine. just i can move the rocker waayyyy to far. all my other ones are solid.

you have your rocker, on either side is a flat washer,then spring washer then flat washer.you should have a gap between flat washers where spring washer is.it could be cracked.i have had this happen to me a couple of times.

theres a huge fckin space on each side if the rocker

Did you break a clip?

i dont know much about motors. can you explain

yea check your clips

clips?

i see the spring. on the rocker its not there on the loose one. i cant find it i hope its not in the motor

was it in your valve cover?

the clips slide over rocker shaft and hold your rocker w/washers in place.

no i didnt see anything in the valve covers. and my clip is there

have you recently had your rocker shafts off? maybe forgot to put in on.i dont think it would pass through your pushrod tubes.but you may want to ask somebody else if they have ever ran into this.

havent pulled them off. im going to pullthem off tonight when the garage heats up. its a bit chilly up in northern ohio. haha. it used to be my dads motor then the bastard upgraded. haah. but i work with what i got. i wanna put some 1.25 ratio rockers on. help any? make a diff? plz tell experiences. if its worth it or not

Here is a pic of a broken wavey washer from my 1915. Found it b-4 it went into oil pan.[img][img]http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o157/silversandoffroad/IMG00024.jpg[/img] This pic shows a little of what the rockers and shafts look like. Thanks Dave T This last pic shows what happens to the non-hardened tips [/img]

I hada clip break on a rocker shaft once ---It sounded to me like a rod that kept coming and going.I had a buddy pull me back to trailer. Once i figured it out I done away w/ stock shafts -went HD bolted shafts. Good luck with your problem. Mark
