Is this a bad rocker arm bolt?
Is this a bad rocker arm bolt?
Im 90% sure it is...jes wanted to make sure.
My pushrod came out of the rocker arm cause it got too loose about a week ago..put it back in, tightened down to proper lash. Today I start it up and its clikcing again, turn it off, take off valve cover, start back and tighten to proper lash...put car back together, start car up, and its clicking again! take it back aparrt, tighten it down good(too much, cause you could tell it started chocking the motor) so backed it off to where it should be...tried to tighten all of the other bolts and they're all on there like 10x tighter(dont loosen as easily I mean).
So I guess thats a bad bolt right, and tomorrow when i get the cam install Ill have the new set of bolts with all the new RR's. Maybe I should just put one of the new bolts on there now...
