This sub has been problems since we got it. For sale as soon as this is rectified. Thought it was worn rockers. Replaced them and pushrods but no joy. Lots of up and down movement on the rockers. Of course it's the tougher side.

Did you change the hydraulic lifter as well? Propably not, because you can only change them, after removing the cylinder head.

Just pulled the valve cover and found the loose rocker.

I've a whole nother motor sitting on the trailer. I just hate to ruin the value by taking that apart. 4.8 works too. I'll find one.

Why don't you swap the engine, rebuild the removed one with patience and have one good in stock again?
