A while ago, when I went to come home from work my 72SB started backfiring.
I took off the right valve cover & saw that the #2 exhaust valve had about
.250" gap. The valve and spring looked just like the intake next to it, but
the rocker rocked way in towards the pushrod. I backed off the locknut as
far as I dared & screwed in the screw. I was able to drive it home like this
(23 miles) and park it on the highest ground that I could find in our
parking lot.
My guess is that I've got a broken or bent pushrod. My questions are: Is
this a good guess? And can I get it out if it's broken? I'd like to get it
inside where I can work on it (about 25 miles).
