valve adjustment

[Turbo_Freak]

So long story short i broke off a adjustment screw while adjusting my valves, any advice? could i still drive it?

i had one fall off on me before, i drove it and replaced it tho.
why not just repair it?

wow so you didn't even know that it fell off, ok how hard is it? and what part would i need to replace??

 

[Steven.]

i just needed to replace the lock down nut on the adjuster screw, i never did find the nut.

no you just need to buy the adjustment screw and lock down nut and extract whats left in the rocker arm without damaging the threads in it
