Installed Rocker Seals on left Side of Engine. found some interesting stuff...

[IAN]

I found 1 rocker arm (not shaft) with a 1.0mm deformation in the bushing. I think I will replace it. The edge where it contacts the cam is a bit rough. Rocker arms aren't cheap, but they are a lot less money than a cam housing. Anyone sean anything like this?

I also found one shaft that is cracked on the outside edge. It will get replaced.

I found also found a shaft with some bizarre looking scuffing on the very edge. It has much more wear than the others. My guess is that at some point it walked in the cam housing or was moving around to some degree.



Who knows what I will find on cylinders 4,5 and 6....

Best,

Ian

i found, and posted some stuff on the rebuild forum about shafts and arms, i've had two walk so far. I thought about getting them mag particled but didn't. now i check them on a regular basis.
(for tightness that is, and to see if they've walked at all
