MarcD Posted March 10, 2004 Report Share Posted March 10, 2004 I had 2 seperate issues with my rolla and its rough idling. 1st problem was a leaking manifold gasket. Was loosing compression to the number 4 cylinder. 2nd problem was a loose rocker arm on top of the f@$king no# 4cylinder (its a curse that hole in the block) cause the inlet valve to not seal properly. Just some other thoughts to ponder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
