Hi gang,
A friend of mine owns a pair of BF45A. Overall the motors look in great shape. However in the process of checking the motors for him, I notice that #3 intake valve appears to be missing the cottor that holds the valve in place. The valve does not look broken. Can the cottor come off or break off? Is this unusual? Also can the cottor be replaced without removing the head? I know the rocker arm assembly would have to be removed. Do the bearings need to be replaced anytime you remove the rocker arm assembly?
Any advice would be appreciated.
