hill3312 Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 Hello! Its finally warm enough in the North East to begin making progress on my 78 280z. I rolled the car out and got it running the other day and out of the blue the valvetrain started ticking quite loudly. I pulled the cover off and found that a lash pad had fallen off and was now just sitting there. I am guessing the varnished gas caused a valve to stick and sling off the pad. - What is the easiest way to get the pad back on? I've replaced the old gas ( 3 years old), pump, and lines... and it should be good to go once I get the pad back under the rocker arm. Any input would be appreciated.

NewZed Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 That has happened to others. You can use a screwdriver if you're handy, to press the valve down and slip the rocker arm back in. Make sure the piston is down and the cam lobe is on the base circle. It's described on page 86 of Monroe's "How to Modify" book, if you have it. Or you can search around the internet, there's probably a video somewhere. The L4's (510's) have the same rocker arms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
