Where did my push rod lifter go?
I have a 1973 Ford f100 with a 77' 351 modified engine, after taking off my valve covers I noticed one rocker arm was loose. We saw that the push rod wasn't touching and was about an inch and a half away and it doesn't have a lifter… And I'm a little concerned as to where it could have gone… Please help… How harmful is this to my engine.
Could have tossed the lifter out of the lifter bore and it is laying in the lifter valley. At this point, I'd bet you have at least one totally worn cam lobe. Even if the lifter "collapsed" it only has about 1/8th inch plunger travel from top to bottom.

Check and see if the lifter just collapsed, but it's still in the bore.
Whoa! No lifter? Only one of two reasons that I can think of: Either the engine was assembled without it, or it split into pieces & is down in the oil pan. Either way - Not good.
- What year for hot rod do I have? So I'm having trouble finding out what car I bought. The guy says 32 Ford roadster steel tub chevy 350 400 trans. I get it to my house then it's a 308 engine 350 trans. And the doors has this arc at the bottom so ik that's different BT any help would be great thank you!
- Why doesn't the clutch rod want to come out? I'm in the process of removing my 2004 ford ranger 2.3 clutch master cylinder. I already disconnected the electrical switch from the clutch pedal position switch, removed the switch, disconnected the pedal to the pushrod. The pushrod doesn't want to come out and O don't see anything holding it in? Any insight?
- Quote on tie rod replacement? I have a 2007 Ford Fusion 2WD, they told me my driver side tie rod boot had busted, they quoted me $247.00 to fix it, is this a fair price?
