RE: Bent pushrod
By T1M - 06/21/2001 1:12:24 AM; IP 129.105.186.179
I've done this procedure before and just tried to be careful and everything went fine, and I've driven the car with the pushrods functioning NOT in their original lifter locations for quite sometime. I'm not saying you don't have a valid point about spinning rods but , it's odd to me because I've never had a problem like this before. My engine has been sitting all winter and not run. I stuck all the rods on their lifters and rotated the crank as an experiment to make sure each one was in place and moving; the one that bent would not move ( I replaced it with another of my remaining pushrods) and I'm pretty sure it was on the lifter. Is it possible from all the time sitting that this lifter has simply rusted stiff? It's hard to believe that the torquing down of the rocker arm assembly wouldn't have freed it up if it was. I dont' think I can stand to take the intake off and remove and brand new set of FelPro gaskets (again) just to get a better view of it. The passenger side bank of the engines rocker arm bolted down with no problem, however, I placed each rod on the lifter FIRST and then placed the rocker arm assembly in place and torqued it down; maybe that's what I need to do for the drivers side of the engine.
I'll look into the oiling problem idea as well.

Thanks for all your help
