[QUOTE="Jimmysidecarr, post: 6577186, member: 11681"] #2 is the second cylinder from the front on the passenger side. A [I]"bottom rocker"[/I] is an exhaust valve rocker. One exhaust follower popping off, by itself will not cause... Check to make sure the valve spring is undamaged, and that the valve articulates and returns to seat while the engine is cranked. A bent valve will sometimes spit a follower off. Make sure you do not have any lower end damage that could have allowed piston to valve contact. I also asked some questions that I STILL need answers to if I'm going to be able to provide any help. How did you know which side cover to take off? What tests were done? A compression test? A leak down test? Did you just deactivate coils until there was no change in the skip? What sort of activity was the car seeing just prior to the problem? Put it back on, put the V/C back on and fire it up. See if it stays put, and see if the skip is gone. I think you may have bigger problems than a follower kicking off. These things will still run skip free with one exhaust valve functioning.:dw: [/QUOTE]
