Hi folks; I've been working with Dave on this problem and I've got some pics up at http://guests.duck-creek.net/elijah/ you can see the #3 cylinder's intake tappet doesn't exist. The question is - what happened here? This engine was siezed and made to run again with various penetrants and detergents. Did that strain the camshaft until the tappet blew out the side? all thories welcome!
