Hi all,

I have a 1936 207 with a bent push rod that will not come out. Do you have to remove the side cover to get a push rod out? I don't know why the push rod bent but it has a good bow to it and I have a slight miss that I attribute to it. It is the #2 intake and the valve is moving normally. I have moved the rocker over and pulled with no luck, is the push rod held in with a retainer?

The engine seems to be rebuilt; it has red valve springs and is very clean. Also could some body give me valve lash for this engine?

Thanks

Steve Lemberg
