so yall,

as you can see from the pic, the cast bridging clamp thingo, has broken,,
the push rod appears to be straight,,, and strangely the engine runs, does not backfire, and really seems to be running on all 8..??
figure that out!!!
could it be that the nut has simply vibrated out??
and broken the bridge thingo,?
can i check if that valve is ok,,while i have R.Cover off..??
if so how?
while r.r is off, what process should i take to clean, lubricate, and fix problemo?
thanks already,
bcb

hey thanks bundy,
the thread is fine and dandy, but i am near vic nsw border,
Q, if i get new thingerijig bridge,,and put it back on, as it is sitting, if i tighten bolt down tight, will it be in correct position?
and if so, is there any product i coul

I had a rocker bridge snap like that whilst i was working it...i think they can get a little brittle.

As was stated, theyre fixed position, so just bolt a new one straight in.

Be careful with the bolt though, use a torque wrench, theyre easy to over

Hey BCB,l When fitting them bridges, they have an arrow to ensure correct fittment. IIRC the arrow hasta face the valve but check coz im too sozzled to be sure whicvh way they go. (Im a six man myself but they are prolly the same for the eights too)

"J

The arrows point toward the carb/inward.
When your tightening rockers bridges down, be aware the some will be tightening down when the valve is open, so be carefull that each pair of bolts is tightened down evenly, so that the bridge goes down straight,

thanks sandman,
should i turn motor over so i tighten down when there is no load on rockers?
i am hoping to get new one tomorrow,
cheers
