[Self-Jameel]

Hi good day everyone,I have a problem rebuilding an engine (3406) after the whole process even to the point of starting that's when I noticed the second rocker arm from back end of the engine is is not lubricating.traced tha whole line I came to the conclusion that the camshaft bearing might have not been in the right position that's ma volution though. Appreciate any help my colleagues will render here.thanks alot

Hello new fella,

Missing o rings on the spacer plate dowels, or misplaced washer for the rocker hold down or upside down rocker shaft.

Compression brake? Truck engine?

You left out a lot of crucial info, so I’m just tossing out ideas. Head over to the new member forum and introduce yourself and you’ll likely get more help.

I’ve seen people accidentally put the washer on the bottom of the rocker bracket. Does it have Jake’s? Serial #?
