im working toward taking off the passenger cylinder head.
i made a short video of the situation. you can see/hear which ones move. only 2 dont move.
i just realized that the video was made after i removed all the head bolts, but i dont think that that could be the cause of this situation (if it even is a situation).
for each rocker that moves easily, if i grab the pushrod, it is loose. kinda just sitting there. i can move it easily if i grab it.
the rockers were all bolted down tight.
so, is this normal or ?
thanks for any help

i forgot to add- the car hasnt been started in a couple years. i dont know if that matters. i dont think the problem is with the rockers, i think it has to do with the lifters. i just dont know what exactly. i think i have heard something in the past about they lose something or other if they have sat for a long time.
