The valve rocker is disconnected. No damage to anything, just off. What do I do to fix it? |
Congrat you found your noise, but now you need to diagnose to see what the reason is for the rocker arm being loose.
IS the push rod bent???
Have you removed the push rod and inspected the end that connects to the lifter also for any flat spots,etc.???
How much travel does the push rod move when you crank the engine. This needs to be inspected to make sure the lifter is not collasped. (Compare it to 1 of the same on a different clyinder. ( I believe it is the exhaust valve , correct??) This will also show if the camshaft lobe is possibly worn.
Inspect the rocker arm for any excessive wear where the push rod meets the rocker arm and the bushing in the rocker arm that goes over the bolt, also make sure the rocker arm hole is not worn also.
In my opinion, waiting until you have found the source of the loose rocker arm I would not reinstall anything just in case you need to go further to fix the problem.
