Ok a friend bought a disco the other day then rang me up saying its sounds really tappety. So i said i'd have a gander.
Pulled the lid off to find the rocker closest to the bulkhead loose and the shim off the top of the valve stem missing. Little bit of fishing to find the shim and i thought about putting it back together.
Then i noticed when i'd loosened everything and put the shim back in place that the was a huge amount of clearance on the rocker in question as if the clearance had never been set.
So i pulled the shaft to find it was snapped after the second rocker from the bulkhead.
My question is can you remove the tappets for inspection without head removal?
What other damage can be caused by a snapped rocker when mine went it just stripped the threads on the securing bolts so i helicoiled and was away again.
Not sure something else has broken here, any help greatly appreciated
