1. Push rods (score: 1): Author: YeOldEd@aol.com; Date: Tue, 17 Sep 2002 18:23:50 EDT; Out on the toll road last friday, running 2800 rpm, smooth and great, when something lets go and engine runs really rough 'til I pull to the shoulder and shut down. No loud metallic noises. Sounds l; /html/6pack/2002-09/msg00345.html (7,751 bytes)
2. Re: Push rods (score: 1): Author: Rob Pennington <robp@ncsa.uiuc.edu>; Date: Tue, 17 Sep 2002 17:39:37 -0500; Was the head re-torqued and the valves re-adjusted? When I replaced the head on mine this spring I found that the valves had to be adjusted a second time after the car had run for an hour or so. Dunn; /html/6pack/2002-09/msg00346.html (8,476 bytes)
3. Re: Push rods (score: 1): Author: Btp44@aol.com; Date: Tue, 17 Sep 2002 21:12:02 EDT; Mike-The first thing I would suspect if the engine was just rebuilt and bronze guides installed, is insufficient clearance between the the valve stems & guides. When the engine gets up to operating t; /html/6pack/2002-09/msg00360.html (7,313 bytes)
4. Re: Push rods (score: 1): Author: tr6taylor@webtv.net (Sally or Dick Taylor); Date: Wed, 18 Sep 2002 23:49:28 -0700 (PDT); Mike--I don' think the valve springs would've been too strong. And the likelyhood of them bottoming out would only happen if the head was milled to where the assembler lost all clearance when setting; /html/6pack/2002-09/msg00398.html (8,085 bytes)
5. Re: Push rods (score: 1): Author: "Robert M. Lang" <lang@isis.mit.edu>; Date: Thu, 19 Sep 2002 09:35:42 -0400 (EDT); Ditto - I agree. Check the valve guide clearances. As for the valve lash changing after initial engine run-in, the answer is "yes, the clearances _will_ change". This is part of the "bedding in" of t; /html/6pack/2002-09/msg00400.html (8,438 bytes)

Re: Push rods (score: 1): Author: "Jim Swarthout" <jswarth1@tampabay.rr.com>; Date: Thu, 19 Sep 2002 13:24:47 -0400; Actually the effect that mike describes, (a blowback through the carbs), is an indication that an exhaust valve "isn't" opening! If we assume that a completed cycle is when the piston returns to TDC; /html/6pack/2002-09/msg00410.html (8,480 bytes)
7. Re: Push rods (score: 1): Author: tr6taylor@webtv.net (Sally or Dick Taylor); Date: Thu, 19 Sep 2002 11:57:03 -0700 (PDT); Jim--I see what you mean about blowback thru the carbs, when caused by an exhaust valve not opening. During what should've been valve overlap, compression could've been very high. But it would seem t; /html/6pack/2002-09/msg00411.html (8,102 bytes)

Of course, just like Dick says, it's great fun when you're not staring at the broken toy. Sorry, Dick! Jim wins the prize this time. #5 push rod sheared at mid point.

Re: Push rods (score: 1): Author: tr6taylor@webtv.net (Sally or Dick Taylor); Date: Thu, 19 Sep 2002 17:55:01 -0700 (PDT); OK, Mike--I will gracefully bow to Jim (and others) as I knowingly took a path of lower percentage. Still not known, to me anyway, is what broke the pushrods? If #3 (exhaust) valve stayed closed, it'; /html/6pack/2002-09/msg00419.html (7,807 bytes)
