[TR] Serious rocker arm misalignment with pishrod

[Wbeech@flash.net]

Unbolt the rocker assembly, carefully lift it 1/2”, and reposition the pushrod.   While you have the assembly up it would be a good idea to remove that pushrod, pulling it slowly so as not to dislodge the tappet, and check to be sure it is straight.

p  (even though it might have been 15 years ago!)  so I assumed it had been adjusted too loose, but even after running 2 nuts itogather, I still couldn't get the pushrod to go under it so I quit.
ISTR that this might have been the reason I quit the restoration 15 years ago.  Im not sure if I  suppose to do this, but I've sent out a picture taken with my Iphone included with this email.  Can someone telllll me if THISS ISthat serious or not and how to fix it,it's over cyllinder two!

Thanks  Paul Dorsey, shadetree mechanic on 60 TR3
