Well I waited too long to replace a roller rocker and it bit me in the ass. It started as a light ticking and never got any worse. Then about a month later it all of a sudden let go and the engine stopped and when I cranked it over it sounded like one cylinder was lacking compression. When I eventually got around to taking off the valve cover my worse fear was realized. When the rocker failed it popped the valve and the keepers came off and the valve is down inside the cylinder now. I wouldn't mind puting a scope into the spark plug hole to look but I haven't yet. I'm bummed. So now the question. This vehicle is in excellent condition otherwise and has been a highway queen its whole life. 2012 with 230k. I'm debating having the engine torn down and evaluated or just buying a crate engine, or trading it off or selling. Are there any good engine guys here in Greensboro?? Someone I could talk to?
Thank you,
Richard
