Harry, is there an off-chance possibility that the little tiny screw
securing the rocker shaft to the #6 pedestal may have come loose and
fallen down between the lifter and pushrod? They have been known to
mysteriously dissapear and then show up in the oil sump....... I used
lock-tight when reinstalling my own last spring, due to what I had heard
on this list.
Optimist's view from here- notice screw is in fact absent, pull
out pushrod, remove renegade screw, notice lifter is unscathed, install
new screw and pushrod, go for a ride.
Pessimist's view- screw is in fact absent, pull out pushrod,
screw is nowhere to be found, lifter has a gouge in it, off comes head,
etc., etc.
Good luck,
Kevin Thompson
