Rocker question - 3000GT/Stealth International Message Center

smoking RR · 01-11-2009, 02:10 PM

well managed to break a P.S. belt, which got in to my timing belt, caused atleast 7 bent valves just on the front head. pulled the valve cover and saw all the rockers laying all over the place.

After looking at then for a few min and cussing i noticed that there were numbers on the rockers
(14/15/16/17). do these mean anything? should they all the the same or does it mater? i wonder bc i think this engine was parted togther before it became mine. i say this because i have 3 matching cam gears and one that looks like it was cut down to make it fit. any ideas?

Let me do some research when I get home. I have the manual and I'll get back to you ASAP. (Don't get off til 7:00pm and 30min drive home)

just got home....I will have the answer for you soon if you don't have it already.

I did not find any info in the manual that says that they are numbered for any particular reason. I am going to go look at my rockers to check and see if mine are numbered.

I have what might be a dumb question but I need to ask it anyway. Did you have the upper and lower cam and engine covers on your car?

everything was there as far as i know. the uppers and the part that covers all the way down the side and as far as i know the lower is part of the side? am i correct?

they all looked the same to me, but thought i would check sense i would be swapping/rebulding the heads anyways.
