cammmy Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 Had the No. 1 tappet adjuster wear out where it sits in the push rod last week. Replaced it but I popped the rocker cover off again today to check the situation, it seems that is still not getting as much oil as the others. Is there a way to rectify this? Could it be a sign of a larger issue?CheersCam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnD Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 Cam,The oil supply to the rocker shaft is merely the screw thread on the back end of the camshaft. It isn't a great pump but it's all that is needed, IF the shaft and rockers are in a reasonable state. But as wear occurs, more and more is lost through worn shaft and rockers betwen the back of the head and No1. The answer is NOT to plug in an external oil pipe, 'coz that will rob the main bearings as so much squirts out around the rockers. Even an oil pipe with a carefully calibraated restrictor is not the answer.The answer is a new rockershaft. Sorry.John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Sorbington Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 Lol, what sort of idiot wouldn't be able to understand Marcus' posts? I just checked the laal wol on my 2000 and it's fine. ;) :)Maybe I'm being an idiot but is the little cross head screw towards the rear of the rocker shaft on 6 pot engines supposed to align the shaft with an oilway or something? I heard a rumor that this is the case but am not certain. Perhaps someone could advise. The reason I suggest it is that they are known for falling out (Chris Witor lists them as "the screw which falls out"). If you don't know it's supposed to be there then you won't notice that it's missing........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GT6 M Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 Good point M,Ludship, yes it does align the shaft, Ive ..found.. many a screw int sump of cars over the years, see if its still in, , as if it aint, all oil will be going oot of here, and no doon the shaft,well spotted M,LudMarcus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GT6boy Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 I noticed that a-cursed little screw fell of my shaft when the rocker shaft was removed last. haven't found it yet, so presumably it fell into the engine.... Yes, it had been loctited in place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry.JohnCool, looking at building up a hotter motor so as long as the current one lasts until then I'll be happy. Was thinking about Yella Terra roller rockers but have heard conflicting reports (as always :P), anyone had experience with RR's?Can anyone provide a picture of where to look for the screw that falls out (or rather, where is should be)?Unfortunately due to the cost of freight across to the underside of the planet, bablefish are incredibly expensive and have yet to be modified for use in keyboards. I will however don my flat cap and hope that it brings out my Yorkshire roots so that I may guess correctly. May ask for translations though from the bablefish equipped ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
