found in the oil pan when redoing seals. unbolting the plate inside the pan and this guy was inside my socket. my buddy was there at the time and said it was a rocker arm guide. new motor too...:down:

that doesnt look like its from the head... Is your engine SOHC or DOHC because im pretty sure the KA24E has square rocker arm guides.

pop off v/c and check them.

depending on which side it came off of.

take off chain tensioner.
remove cam sprocket on either intake/exhaust side which ever the guide is missing.
remove cam caps and lift camshaft out.
lift up the rockers and place guide back on top.

follow the fsm for more accurate info.

how would the motor run with the guide missing? the guy i bought it off of said it was a good motor. did he dick me or does the motor run fine without it?

[2bad240]

hate to hurt your feelings but its not gonna run with that out and i WOULD NOT try it.

Oh its an sr... Well, an sr to me is like speaking latin. eh well, my cars getting there, but im not going sr, especially since ive seen something like this (jk, im gonna turbo my KA instead though.)

Your post has absolutely nothing to do with the topic at hand. If you can't contribute, don't.

the Engine will run but really shitty and have a loud tick in the Head (Not Advised to run though) Very Simple to replace, find the valve spring retainer thats missing it, move the Cam Lobe off of it and just loosen the Cam until you can slide the shim back in.

yes that is a rocker arm guide , to put it back in just take your VC off , take off the cam bolts , remove the sprockets , make sure your chain doesnt fall down...take off the cams and see which one is missing and put it back in.

[Project3328]

its not that hard to put it back in.. takes a little time.. dont lose anything and put everything back exactly where it came off

[ROTTEN EGG]

found no missing guide in the head. 8 shims and guides still intact and looking good. previous owner might of got the head serviced and droped an old one inside hopefully

[smelly240]

wait... so all the valves had either a guide or a shim and that came ou tthe bottom?!!? i can only say wow.

[benefitx]

does your motor tick?
