Hi everyone, on with a valve job at the mo. Think i may need to replace some of the valve rockers.  

 

 The ones mounted on exhaust valves look like the centre pin that goes through the pully is coming out. Anyone seen this before should they be like that ? Cylinder 3 was the worse.

 

Non of the rockers on the intakes are like it.

 

I was going to try push the pin back though the pully but it looks like the hole may be threaded.

 

 

Hi, not sure if you posted this on the correct site as you are listed as having an Octavia and this is the Fabia 2 site but I think you are right it looks distinctly odd. I would hold fire until sone one smarter then me comes along! It looks like a sort of gudgeon pin is out of canter.

Hi mate,did you ever find out the problem ?

Hi Skywalker07036, I assume you may have a similar issue and as the OP did not place any more messages, I would suggest they sorted the fault/issue. Liking at the pictures and thinking of the job being undertaken, I would think they either managed to score the part back together successfully or replaced the offending part. If they fitted it and it failed again, I am sure they would have said so. If in doubt though, I would suggest fitting a new part as the risk of the part coming adrift again may be more then a new one failing! If the job is worth doing, do it properly!
