Message: [QUOTE="kleake, post: 1399294, member: 25987"] Well, my suspicions were correct, however i'm not sure why. Pulled the driver side valve cover and checked rockers. #2 intake, #6 intake, and #8 exhaust are always tight. The question is why? Push rods look correct, rockers look to be positioned right and the ball tip looks right. So either the lifter is stuck in the up position, which isn't likely or the valve tips are too high? How can I check? Also, I assume all of the bridges are the same with the slotted end going towards the center of the head? This is how they were when I took them off. If 2, 6, and 8 are the issue on the left side, per the firing order that means #1 is the issue on the right side since they are in sequence. Firing order: [B]1-2[/B]-7-3-4-5-[B]6-8[/B] Next question, is there an easy way to loosen the rockers without pulling injector lines? I'm not really wanting to have to replace the lines just to fix the rockers, but I don't see an easy way to get at the hold down bolts. Oh, but I did get it to start and run, rough until rpm came up to about 2k and then it seemed to get better, but at idle, definitely rough. [/QUOTE]
