ekulrenlig Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 I replaced the valve cover on my 87 MJ today, and noticed that one of the rocker arms had a puddle of oil in it. Is the oil suppose to drain out of the rocker arm 'depressions'? I've also recently noticed a chattering sound from my engine coming from either the throttle body or within the valve cover. What could this be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 Oil splashes all over the place inside the valve cover. Chances are as soon as you fire it up the oil will get thrown out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyComanche Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 I think they are suppossed to drain though. At least, I seem to remember the HiPo roller rockers for the SBCs did. However, it's not a problem, one way or another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ekulrenlig Posted October 2, 2006 Author Share Posted October 2, 2006 Ok, thanks. It just seemed odd that only one of them wasn't drained. Any ideas on the chattering sound? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyComanche Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 Does it sound internal or external? Might be the good ol' cracked header flapping around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
