Sapper 157 Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 Well its one dag gum thing after another.... I have my heads back on with new head gaskets and pushrods, and as I was adjusting the valves today, I noticed that the rocker arm was extremely loose. I compared it with the other rocker arm, and found that my left hand rocker arm is missing the spring washers. So now I gotta find out what kind of spring washers these are and where I can buy them from... unless of course it is possible to run the rocker arm without them... any advice on where to find these spring washers? My local hardware store and automotive shop doesnt have it... I live about 80 miles/1hr 45mins from the nearest Home Depot. Does anybody know where I can buy these stupid things online? Or what size they are? Or have any info on them at all? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazyeights Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 (edited) I'll send you a complete unmolested rocker assembly. Please PM with any markings you can find on your rocker shaft so I can match up the correct one. I know it sucks but try and have patience, you'll get it running yet This type of thing happens a lot when you are working on older cars.
