Rallywagon Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 After 2 new axles and exhaust repair, I have my 'ru on the road again with 248k miles. The only significant drivetrain problems are a slow leak either from a cracked head or head gasket and a worn valve rocker arm. Stop leak in the coolant keeps me in decent shape on the leak, but the worn rocker arm knocks a fair amount. Does anyone know a source for rocker arms? Thanks.

edrach Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 Least expensive source is the wrecking yard. Since it's an '83 it should be a non-hydraulic lifter head. Good luck with it.

hatchsub Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 Don't the hydraulic lifter engines have the "do not adjust valve clearance" sticker on the valve covers? If so mine is an 83 with hydraulic lifters so he may need hydraulic lifters as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rallywagon Posted November 1, 2005 Author Share Posted November 1, 2005 I have solid lifters, not hydraulics in my '84 engine. Anyone else know of a source for rocker arms? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
