Loose rockers?
Hey guys. I have a 91' 6 bolt 2.0 non turbo. I bought a new head for it and had the whole engine redone.. I put the timing belt on 1 tooth wrong.. The exhaust cam was clockwise one too many teeth. I used a breaker bar to turn the engine over and nothing hit. I installed the enigne and it wouldnt run right so i knew the timing was off. I fixed the problem and it resolved the problem.. But my head was making a racket. It was remanufactured at a local machine shop. I installed the stock lifters and rockers and cams. I noticed that all of the rockers on the intake side were loose. Do you think that the head was manufactured wrong?? When the cam is off the rockers there is about 1/16 of play or almost 3/32 of play. Actually I was able to take 2 off the head without removing the cams!! Do any of you guys understand whats wrong? If the timing belt was 1 tooth off on the exhaust side do you think it would have hit the valves? Like I said before i cranked it over with a breaker bar and nothing was hitting.. It rolled smoothly.. When I had the engine running it idled good too..
