Hey my motor is making an awfully weird sound.I was driving home yesterday and my motor started to tap really bad and its started jerking like a mechanical bull so i pull over, and call a tow truck.
So the next day i take off my valve covers and see that on of my roller rockers have completley came off. So i put it back on and check all the others and do the tighting sequence.
Then i start it back up and it doing the same thing so im like what the MF is it now so i change the plugs , cap, rotor etc..... and its still doing the samething.
This has happend to me before and i had to change the head gasket and it fixed it but i just checked the compression and all 8 cylinders are at 150. im stumped can you help me
