Urgent help!

[Reece.]

I have a 1999 evo 6, replaced all 16 lash adjusters today. Drove the car this morning no problems, no misfire.

After putting the rocker cover back on and starting it I have a misfire straight away, but for the love of me can't find what's causing it. It took 1 hr 45 mins from start to finish and as said it was driving perfect 2 hours before I finished doing the lash adjusters.

I've checked plugs, checked all electrical connectors I took off, removed leads and coils whilst running and they are all sparking.

Confused as it was running perfect before hand! HELP ME!

Reece.

What was causing it?

 

[martinthegooner]

Thinks he has gone already

 

[Billy MR]

He's ran away...

Nice to see he even explained what had gone wrong for future owners to look out for :razz:

Sorry people, been really busy over the weekend!

One of the rocker arms wasn't seated properly on the exhaust side, was 3-4mm out of centre, literally tapped it into place, put it all back together and it ran sweet, plus rattling lash adjusters

Maybe you have a problem with that lash adjuster then

Maybe you have a problem with that lash adjuster then

I sorted it soon after I put the thread up, was down to my own error as its all fine now after I found the problem lash adjusters are quiet and its driving fine now!

Sounds like you got a lucky escape. If that rocker arm hadve come completely disslidged it could have caused some major damage!

 

[Reece.]

Indeed! Was so difficult to see, luckily enough it was on enough to keep it all together

 

[DDS789]

Nice one, good to see you reply and explain just possibly helps others if they do the same

 

[Reece.]

Just a silly mistake but it happens! Hope it can be a help/word of caution when people do, do them
