sorry for long gap in posting laptop still goners. finally got 'er back on the road again with a remanufactured engine from ford (got a discount there). she's runnin' great. well, after i pulled the engine out thursday, removed the passenger side valve cover and found my third rocker arm just layin' in the head along w/ about half of the roller and there was only one of the valve spring retainers in, found the other retainer in the oil pan with the rollers needle bearings. the rocker was for the #1 cylinder. still baffled on what really happened cause i lost compression of about 20% on cylinders 2, 3, and 4 and 1 only lost 4%. maybe jumped time or advanced cam advanced too far and smacked the valve??? have any ideas? thanks
