[QUOTE="vibrac, post: 103768, member: 60"] After a frustrating time in the workshop today I award this to: Putting a rocker pushrod into an assembled engine (tank off thankfully) My method is to use a pair of surgical forceps this enables me to try and 'swing' the bottom of the pushrod around in the timing chest with the top end in the rocker adjuster hole. If I cant, then there is a[I][B] chance[/B][/I] the bottom is in the rocker recess, horray! Doing it at maximum lift seemed the best. I was only fitting the front inlet I would hate to try the front exhaust when trying a vertical 'drop' is not an option. Any advance for the most miserable task? [/QUOTE]
