Mack Technician Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Figure the moral of the story is you really, really, need to locate that chunk. Snail would be a fine lodge spot, esp since it’s likely a stock AI with tight clearances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fjh Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 because of the air flow I highly doubt it when that direction! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mack Technician Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 Via the bend and distortion in remaining valve chunk I’d guess that thing was turning into red licorice when the rim came undone. Still believe it left a chunk of its carcass some where. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You get a more true drag “response” back from the feeler gauge with the tube compressed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fjh Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 If the history is unknown on this engine You should change out your rocker bolts if you haven't already! DON'T TRUST THEM! Its and un written rule at our place to replace these if we don't have history of replacement ! had a few bad experiences! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
