[TR] Serious rocker arm misalignment with pishrod

[Andrew S. Mace]

 One thing that raises a red flag for me is the fact that there appears to be a double nut on the adjuster for that rocker arm! Something is amiss there!
Also, could that pushrod be bent or otherwise damaged? Could that valve be sticking in the guide?

No starting it today!  I took the valve cover off and urgh one of the pushrods had been seriously misaligned with it's rocker arm.This engine had been rebuilt by an eengine shopp  (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!
