[72c20customcamper]

Wasn’t a fun morning took the Chevelle out and about 20 minutes into the ride it started to have a valve tap that got louder and louder. Stopped at a strip mall and let it idle tap from drivers side. Good thing I had some tools and there was a Lowe’s . Got the cover off and I see half of the adjuster nut sitting in the head . Managed to get the remaining part off and all pieces are there . So I called a tow truck and they said minimum of two hours … great… so I had an idea I bought a 7/16 18 lock nut spun the motor over little cranks with the starter till #2 was at TDC installed the nut and adjusted till I had tension on the push rod . Started it up very slight tap . Buttoned up the cover cancelled the tow. Drove it to my rental home where it’s stored only about 2 miles car ran good . Got the replacement at a local speed shop. Enough excitement for the day. So I came home and worked on the 72
