So I had a problem with my car a few weeks ago which I thought was related to the intake. I had planned on replacing the intake at some point anyway so I decided to order a Systemax. That came in last week, so today I go to install it and once the lower is off I notice 2 push rods can be moved pretty easily. I pull the valve covers off and find that one rocker's adjustable keepers had come off completely (just worked itself loose I guess) and on the other side that one keeper broke in half not down the middle just half way down the adjuster. So gotta wait to install the intake until the new adjusters come in......

But on the plus size, no real engine damage, found my problem and the car should be drivable and 5 lug can get started once this is all done :D

good you caught that man!

I guess I did kinda catch it and I would have seen it before the whole top end went back together, because I was going to put the new valve covers on anyway. Just glad it didn't break anything or cause any damage at least none that I have found yet.
