At first, I was hoping to loosen the adjusting nut enough to allow the
pushrod to be realigned,and it seemed too stiff to loosen. so...I used a
second nut todo that.
I dont think I was able to do it. wbeech (Bill?) said to loosen the rocker
arm assembly and raise it up. In fact, then would be the time to check if
that pushrod was straight. But to be careful not to dislodge it's tappet.
Question: isin't the tappet held in place? How could it be dislodged?
Maybe my biggest challenge is remembering how to set the valves after
this. Isin't there an accepted procedure of how to do this somewhere on
the internet? What about a list of torque settings?
