Hey everyone,
Yesterday I bought a 1974 john deere h3 with a non running motor.
I have removed the motor today and tore everything down to the block to get it ready to send off to machine shop.
I went to remove the valves and after I removed the valve cover I found these tiny little springs and ball bearings that are the size of a bb. At this point Im lost, what could these tiny little springs and bb sized bearings came from? I havent removed the governor yet and not sure if that is where these could have come from?
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks
PS
I should also mention that the head was not on the engine, so I guess it might be possible that these springs and ball bearings came from somewhere else, possibly fell into the valve area while they were open[/img]
