Driving along and lost a cylinder?? HELP!!
I retorqued my head today at the 500 miles for a new gasket, so had to pull the rockers, well tonight i'm driving down the road and wam all the sudden just starts running like crap and looks like white smoke out the stacks, no power and just sounds like i lost a cylinder, oil looks fine.. could a rocker come lose?? I'm susposed to head to WA on friday.. any ideas.. it was running fine up to this point.. thanks

I have not, no garage at my place, did all the work at my bro's. And its crappy as hell out.. so i guess when i get in from work tonight i'll do that. Does it sound like a rocker problem or possibly a blown HG?

Sorry guys, got home late from work on Tuesday, so pulled the VC and there it was, #3 intake jam nut backed off, so the valve bridge was laying next to the valves, the jam nut was in the oil return hole, thank god it was just a little to big to fit, and the cap off the rocker was right next to it.. pulled the pushrod to make sure it wasnt bent, it wasnt, put it back together reset the lash, double checked everything else and put it back together, fired him up and purred like a kitten, just got to WA, and averaged 17.5 mpg running 77mph which is 2100 rpm, adrenaline on 1 and the smarty on fuel and boost.. next weekend the new injectors go in, then the following weekend up to BD for there dyno days.. thanks for all the info.. sorry for the late update..
