About a week of so ago my stang started to tick but I had no time to do anything about it, yesterday I isolated the sound to the valve train on the driver side and took the cover off today, the roller on the rocker is seized and the cam lobe is a little rough. This leaves me with a some questions:
What are the chances of me getting some more time out of this motor with just a new rocker?
It seems the lifter is trapped unless the cam is removed or am I missing something?
Do I have to pull the head to swap the cam or can I ziptie the chain on the gear and unbolt it from the cam?
I'll attach a pic now and add more once they are downloaded to this device.
The background on this car:
2005 GT bought a couple of years ago with 6xxxx miles on it, it has 119xxx now and I've changed the oil every 10k with Mobil 1 synthetic. It's my daily driver and stock except for the tune as I wanted no hassles with it.
