Hello everyone. Went for a drive today and car ran great, stopped for fuel and when I started back up I heard a horrible rattle coming from cylinders 3 and 4 valve cover. After a tow home I found this. At least 1/4" gap from rocker to valve tip. I turned the engine over slowly and did get the rocker arm to slightly open valve. I thought how could a solid lifter collapse?
I also pulled the rockers and pushrod. The pushrod was not bent. I looked down the pushrod tube and saw 'C' clips on the lifters. Is there such a thing as solid lifters with 'C' clips? Thank's for the help. |

Thanks guys for all the well wishes. I'll probably just take the head off and hope for the best.
Root_Werks, yes intake on #4 rhodyguy I am thinking what you're thinking...what about the 7 others? porschetub, those are solid lifters, they just look hydraulic, crazy huh, They are from web cam. The pushrods are aluminum and didn't bend. Is it safe to assume the seat gave way and the valve is hanging up? That's what I'm hoping for. These heads had 44 intake and 38 exhaust and had some work done to them. Maybe jumping the gun but any thoughts on new heads?
