Thanks guys. I figured that might not be a bad idea. Sent from my SM-N975U using Tapatalk

Hi guys. I've had this problem going on for a while now. I hope someone can point me in the right direction. One day my truck started dying when I would let off the throttle. It ran fine going down the road, and then it got to where it wouldn't idle. I changed the fuel and filters, and there was...

I dropped a washer for the bolt that attaches the valve train. I looked for a couple of hours,but it's no where to be found. Can I just go down to tractor supply and get another one this size,or is there something special about this one? If all I can find is a zinc plated one at home depot is...

Good to know. Thank you. It looks like mine may not have been tightened enough and had started to back off.

I used a nut very similar to that on the wheel adapters I bought, but they were a tad bit bigger [emoji16]. These nuts spin freely. I'm not sure if that's the way they are supposed to be or not. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm more out of shape than I thought I was. Torquing these heads is wearing me out. [emoji3] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I had not thought of the double nut. Thanks! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I've been removing, or attempting to remove, my heads. The nuts on the driver side are the ones in question that are the hardest to get to. I am using the wrench that is known for breaking, and I've been able to remove five of the six nuts. The one closest to the radiator is the one giving me...

Thanks for the help everyone. Is it a good idea to replace my pushrods while I've got it opened up?

I pulled my pushrods out tonight, and on a couple of them it felt like the tappet stuck to it as I was pulling and it made a rattling sound. On one of them it didn't feel like the pushrod wanted to fall back into place. Is it possible / likely that the tappet came out of its hole and...
