Rebuilt engine starter behaving oddly
#46
Going through old threads on those rockers, some swear you can get by swapping out the baffle fasteners with flush heads - others swear you have to remove the baffles. Others yet say removing the baffles creates blow by problems and the spacer is the right way to go. You'll have to figure out which is best, it's not appropriate to give suggestions without being able to touch and see or have previous experience, which I don't. If you had head work done, I do think you should consider what Saudade has been trying to convey. Summit and JEGS (and others) sell adjustable pushrod length checkers. I personally would validate pushrod length prior to trying start up again. You could also do a compression check with the valve cover off and see what you get.
If that hadn’t worked I would have gone through the all of the other steps.
Thank you all so much for the fantastic help. This place really is an amazing resource for the Jeep and it is all of you that make it work.
