Well I thought everything was fine, since it sounded like the lifters pumped up and the motor ran fine, but now I have a problem. I was heading for the mountains and right near the top of the Saluda Grade I started loosing power. I pulled over and had to open the deck to hear the motor over the traffic and it sounded horrible. A metallic rattle and thump. AAA towed me to an exit and I poped the valve covers, The #3 rocker arm had come loose and looks like the lifter had leaked out. I put the nut back on but it is still making the noise, and no power. I was able to borrow a tow dolly and got it home today. Any ideas what to check first? Anybody got a complete motor for sale?
