Hi everyone. Thanks in advance for all help.
After a four year long rebuild on my 74 TR6 I finally had it on the road. I
had a faint misfire at 55 to 60 MPH. No big deal. I thought the carbs were
still not just right. Then all of a sudden, the engine starts missing big
time and back firing. I limped home and pulled the valve cover and the last
most push rod, cylindar 6, is bent. The engine has maybe 50 miles on it since
a complete rebuild. How can a push rod get bent??? Do I have to worry about
the tappet??? I am hoping that this was the casue of a lot of my suspect
carb problems. The number 6 cylindar has good compression, 120 psi, just as
the other 5, = or - 2 psi. It hope this means that the cylindar/piston is
harmed. The books show this to a pretty replacement of a push rod. Any
advice will be greatly appreciated.
