>Look for bent pushrods, or pushrods that show signs that they have been >scraping against something. Normally they should just be simple straight rods >with normal engine oil deposits all over them uniformly. Okay, pulled them out, they both look normal, not bent or deformed in any way. Also they were the same length as the rods in the #1 cyl, so I don't think they're the wrong pushrods. One of them had a scuff mark, but it didn't look that bad. I went ahead and swapped them with the pushrods on the #2 with the #1 and did the valves again. On the #2 cylinder towards the rear of the car (can't remember if its in/exh) it still won't let me set it. The valve towards the front of the car, I can now get a .004 feeler gauge in there (kinda roughly), but I cant do .006 even with the little screw all the way out. To see if it helped anything, I did a fast drive around the block, it still lacks power. One other question, could no power be a product of fouled spark plugs? I realized I haven't replaced them in years. Thanks! Ben --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).
