I am calm now it jjthrew me for a loop at first. it seems the rear banjo bolt was loose and that may have stopped the lubrication process. In regards to your questions 1. i don't know and should i replace everything--rockers/springs/cam /etc or just the broken parts?????? Question 2. yes looks like a sponge on inside. And what is the best way to remove E32 head I plan on making this my summer project. Thank you to all who have answered i really feel honored and blessed to be in your company and receive advise from you...thank you.
Can understand your reaction, Clarence, but as the title says, first, don't panic.Second, my personal thing would be to look at solutions more than problems - I know, fixing the rockers without sorting the cause is futile, but start from the aim of fixing, right? I don't personally think frightening yourself over replacing the whole engine is goign to help just yet...
OK, being constructive... some things to consider:
1) are the rockers original or could some prior owner have picked up some cracked defective spares?
2) are the rockers chill-cast aluminium (look like sponge-foam in centre of casting, but solid layer around outside)?
In both cases heat from normal
