I haven't swapped the push rods, I labeled them so I won't swap them.Rob Harknett wrote:Have you swapped the push rods. Have you re adjusted the tappets. That exhaust tappet looks like it is adjusted up very high compared to the inlet tappet. You must adjust the tappets. Turn the engine over until both valves are shut, check the tappet adjustment. If you have not done this, maybe you swapped the push rods, Now the exhaust is too tight and the inlet too loose.
I've re adjusted both tappets, but the exhaust rocker is higher than the inlet rocker (both valves closed). Could this be a worn out rocker? rocker axle? As I'm looking in the manual, it's not possible to adjust the rockers, only the tappets. I think the problem was that it had fitted a slightly thicker gasket, and upon replacement for a correct one, now it's not possible to adjust it. I've also noticed some bending on the exhaust push rod.
Checking the manuals looks like I need a press for removing the rockers? I would like to check for wear.
Thanks again
