pic of my Broken rocker arm and need REPAIR HELP!

[Turbo Dave]

i just did one of those heads. you'll need to take the entire head off. we have a device that we place on the cylinder head and threaded rod goes through cylinder head bolts. there are things that press on the rockarms and release the tension from the camshaft and valve springs.

take the cam out and knock the shafts out.

btw, lmk if you need a rocker arm.

grr, oh well tons of owrk tomorrow. i got another rocker arm already it was 13 bucks thanks though.

well i called my friend whos in jail (hes a car genius)

and he said it can be done without taking the head off.

so for shits n giggles i tried and ive made progress



i need crowbar cuz i bent the screwdriver (he borrowed my crowbar to rob a place then got arrested so i never got it back that is why he is in jail)

but yeah if i can move it 5 more inches then i can slide the old one off and put the new one on lol.

Hooray for not doing it the right way.

[npor]

crowbar?


i know a much easier way. just get a chisel and a hammer, and chisel it out. it'll come out smooth and MUCH easier than trying it your way.


plus, it won't damage the head what-so-ever

unlike a crowbar...

Then dont fix it.

Actually, do it your way. Drill a hole in your pulley and see if the reduced weight on one side of the spinning object throws it off balance. While youre at it, dump a gallon of milk into your crank case, because thats another similarly brilliant idea.

Will you marry me?

im not sure how you are going to move it over five inches while the head is still in the engine bay.

[Turbo Dave]

its going through, see how the cam gear is spoked, the rest is cheap plastic, is already out the other side of the cam gear

if i can't get it for some reason, i will pull the head and redo all the normal stuff, valve stem seals and headgasket and whatever else, but then i will probably go with a small exhaust port and better cam.

then finish the car with a front strut bar and drop it about 2 inches.

[Turbo Dave]

stupid pos took me like an hour and a half to take the head off

[wed3k]

so you finally decided to do it the right way?
