Re: Textbook example of excessive valve lash

[Matt Haas <mhaas@xxxxxxx>]

The lifter still has a little spring in it but since the engine's out (this 
is, of course, the second most expensive phrase, right after "while we're 
at it"), it's going off to a machine shop to be disassembled, cleaned, and 
checked out. It's getting a new cam and lifters and if that rocker or push 
rod is rough looking from the pounding it took, they'll be replaced as 
well. I intend to completely detail all of the engine accessories to the 
way they're supposed to be before everything goes back together.
