Hey Rollaclub
I just got back into a ke55!
When i went over to pick it up from the seller we started it and it just sounded like it was running on 3 cylinders and the engine sounded really loose/ rattly! It drove (with absolutely no power), and we were able to get it home (a 5km downhill drive home).
Yesterday I pulled the rocker cover off and saw that on cylinders 1 (intake) and 4 (intake) the pushrods were unseated, hence leaving the valves closed.
I had to take the rocker arm off to get them back in, so i have no idea how they came out. I tried setting the valve clearances to spec and they still fell out. Maybe i set the clearances wrong, but could there be another explanation for this? Engine runs better now, but still sounds wrong.
any tips? worn cam? valves not retracting well?
thanks guys
