I'll keep my eyes open for a good set. I'm not in a hurry, so its worth trying to save them. I need to run up on a used crock pot to turn into a hot tank
I appreciate the help.John

| Post subject: | Checking compression with Rocker arms removed |
I was going to set my valve lash until I found that ALL of the rocker arms were plugged and one pushrod was bent. I have the rockers soaking, but I'd like to do a compression check while I'm waiting for the gunk in the oil passages to loosen up. Can I do a compression check with the rockers out? I'm thinking without the valves opening it won't be worthwhile, but thought I'd ask anyway. Thanks, John |

Yes, the valves need to open and close to get compression reedings. BTW, On your clogged rocker arms, you should find yourself a good used (unclogged) rocker arm assembly to use. It is unlikely you will be successful in getting all 12 arms unclogged. (and you can spend hours trying) DD |

somone had an NOS set on Ebay last week, the price didnt seem too bad. If youre not in a hurry it would be worth watching there. |

Those show up on Ebay with some regularity. I've been tempted myself but I think I have everything I need.

Thrift shops, Goodwill stores, etc. usually have plenty of used crock pots for sale for a couple of dollars or so. |
