Re: [T3] Running on 3


I just took off the rocker arm assembly and pulled the pushrod.  It is not
perfectly straight but otherwise it appears to be in good shape.  There is
about 1 mm of difference in the center when I roll the rod across a flat
surface.  The valve itself looks fine and the visible part of the spring
looks fine as well.

I out of my realm of experience here, is the pushrod too bent? Am I facing a
'stuck' valve?  If so how do I progress from here?  I've heard of these
being freed up by primitive means but I can't remember the details.

I wonder...  Twice in the last month my engine suddenly got 'clattery' and
when I stopped the clattering went away.  It sounded like valve noise and
the engine continued to feel normal in the way it ran.  Both times it lasted
about 30 seconds.  Although I knew better I chose to just be glad that the
problem went away.  I suppose that this relates to the clatter??
