This started last week. On my 90, I can faintly here what sounds like a single valve noise coming from around the rocker covered on the driver's side. I put a stethoscope up to the rear of the rocker cover and it's more noticeable. If it's indeed valve noise what's the possibilities?
Also, I'm a bit confused about the valve stem-to-rocker arm clearance. The book says it's .088 to .189. Then it says the Rocker arm fulcrum bolts have a two step torque sequence. So with that said, how is the clearance maintained? Do you measure it and adjust it after you torque the fulcrum bolt or do you use different size push rods to get the required clearance?
- Broken Spring
- Bent Rod
- Defective/Dirty Lifter
- Dipstick issue
- Exhaust Manifold
- Fuel Injector noise
