Re: Carl's 98 auto AWD project Black Magic

The car has been running good for the last month or so. I even drove it to Brainard lastwweekend and it was a smooth trip. Yesterday it desired to remind me that it was a DSM. It took. It into town and on the way back it started to misfire. After looking at it for a few hours I found that it threw a rocker on one of the intake valves. I think the lifter collapsed and allowed the rocker to eject during a pull I made right before the misfiring started. There is a slight scratch on the cam lobe, but no other real damage I am planning on replacing the lifter and and putting the rocker back in, and hoping for the best.
