3.0L valve sounds
Hello,
One of my friend has a 91 minivan with 3.0L engine in it. I noticed that it has a very bad valve sounds. They hit the head like crazy. Can the problem be fixed without removing heads, or should he remove the head and machined it. I mean is there some shaft or larger rocker arms that can fix the problem without costing lots of money. thanks. |

time, or next weekend, I will start tearing apart the head. what are the specification of the camshaft thickness, or any way if i can tell rocker arms are still good. Thanks. |
