More ongoing problems with my HEEP. It developed a "chirp/squeak"
from the front of the motor, up to 2000 rpms, then no noise. Hoped it was a belt / pulley problem, took off belt, nope still sqeaks, pull off valve cover, #1 intake rocker arm is bone dry. This might explain the broken ra bolt / worn vale tip on #2 intake on head I replaced last weekend. When I rev it up ONLY the last 2 cylinders have any significant oil squirting out of the the ra's pushrod hole. I ran it without 2 front pushrods, lifter seemed to pumping some oil. Minimum oil pressure: 20# idle 40# 2500rpm hot, 10w 30 in Florida, engine temp about 200deg. Cleaned tops of lifter to keep crap out when I replaced the head. Where are the oil passages to the lifters located, can you unscrew a plug to clean out the lifter gallery like alot of other motors? Any ideas? I drive 80-100 mi a day for work.
