Thank you Tokin....
When I removed my valve covers to replace a broken roker arm, I tryed to torque another that was loose but nothing happend, Ias told that it might be a "collaps lifter".... , what do you think?
Thanks again

well, im no mechanic myself, but rocker arm is connected to the pushrod which sits right on the lifter, which rolls(assuming its a roller cam) over the cam.

something along that path is fuggered up.

 

Gracias, Tokin

 

First of all, what kind of cam is it? Roller, flat, hydraulic, solid? And is it making any noises? I recently pulled a valve cover cuz of a NASTY noise I developed, turns out the needle bearing in the roller on no1 exhaust lifter grenaded. Also, pull the pushrod from the loose rocker and see if it's straight. Easy was is to roll it across a smooth surface, like an even metal table and listen and look for wobbling as it rolls.
