Hey, Doug,
>2)It could have been caused by the adjuster nut being held on by only 1-1/2 threads. That was because the push rods were too long.
Actually the push rods were to short. A shaft system needs to have the adjuster in the middle of it's travel, Doug.
> 5)the rocker arms may have failed because the pushrods "flexed" enough for them to come out of their guides, the rocker arms then were uncontrolled and crashed on something or each other, bound and broke.
The puhrods could not come out of their guides, because there are no guides on a shaft system.
> Culpret? ...drum roll here...who picked the cam? Great suspense but a predictable ending.
Well here it comes it's, it's,it's---------_________>MME's pick!
Thanks, P-MAXIMUS
