so when me and my buddy was taking my head off we accidently let the valve rocker arms fall out. Now i don't where they go, as in which one goes where? There are little # on them, like 4, 2, 3, maybe a 1 or 0, there all really hard to see though. My question is does it matter where they go, are they all the same? Because i put them on and a did a valve adjustment and then started my engine and just heard a whole bunch of clicking and ticking, so i turned it off right away. Also when i was adjusting my valves im wondering how much resistance should i feel with the feeler quage, i did it so i could just barly feel it. and the exuast side i basicly needed to adjust the screw all the way out just so i could have the feeler gueage be able to pass trough it. Please help a guy out in needs, i miss my car and its been 3 weeks with out it. BTW its a B18b engine.

 

How do the Rockers accidently fall out?


Did you make sure that each cylinder was a TDC when you adjusted that cylinders valve lash?

 

im going to redo the valve lash again to check it again. How much resistance should i be feeling with the feeler guage?

 

STEP AWAY FROM THE VEHICLE. you sound like you have no idea what you are doing. you need to check out a helms.

 

You should feel a slight drag. If in doubt you shouldn't be able to insert the next size up feeler.

lol, at first i did not, but i got it fixed now, they have to be snug. That shitty chilten book said better to be loose than tight, were thay wrong. I need a copy of the helms on paper, i hate walking up and down the stairs to look at something when working on my car.
