Glad to hear you got it working. Were your cam and rocker very worn? One of
my GLHS's was clattering a lot. I switched over to a roller cam/followers
setup. Nice and quiet after that. When my Sister lost here first rocker, she
was quoted something like $800 for a cam and a couple rockers. I brought her
car over here. Then for $20.00, I found a perfect cam (hers was really worn)
and all the rockers. Spent about 1.5 hours and put all that in. My brother
calls me the next day and asked. What did you do to her car? It never ran
that good when I owned it

Well the rocker bit the dust ( it must have been flying around the valve cover)
so I pulled one from my other engine but it is a stamped one and the one in the
car is a cast kind, does it matter if its cast or stamped?Roy

The way I fixed it before was to unbolt all the cam caps and slide it backin
place and retorq cam caps. The problem is if you dropped a rocker, itwill
happen again. Cam or slider is worn out.

I don't know how you drive your cars, but I've seen rockers (followers) get
thrown off the cam. The slider cam/followers that the older TD's came with are
prone to wear and get loose. If they get revved too fast, theycan jump off.
I've seen this twice in two different Omnis my sister had, my Dad's minivan, a
car I bought from a friend and once on my Shelby Charger.
The roller rockers (followers) are less prone to get thrown, but I haveseen it
happen. Just an idea. Good luck
