I took my mate for a drive to Batemans Bay today to have a look at his R which he said was running like a pig and had a loud rattle to it.
Upon inspecting the plugs etc, which were a little oily, and did a diagnostic on the ECU (which came up all clear), we removed the rocker cover and
discovered this - http://geocities.com/stick_canberra/david.html
As well as the rockers being off the valves, the spark plug in #4 was incredibly hard to undo, and will not come out even though its loose. I feel it may have been x-threaded by the butchers that put it in beforehand - not mentioning any names . . .
Anyone had this happen to them? And what would cause it to happen? The valves themselves look fine - the shafts arent bent, just the little retaining caps on the tops have broken and allowed the rockers to come off.
