I have a Massey 65 with a Continental G176 engine, The exhaust pushrod on my #1 cylinder has dropped down flush with the top of the head. I can fish it out, but I did not think it could go down that far if the lifter was in place. The engine is not torn down, I just picked up a miss, and lack of compression has led me this far. What am I up against here? Can this be fixed without a tear down? I believe a broken valve spring was the cause of this... The push rod was up against the rocker when I took the valve cover off, but while I was fingering the rocker shaft, the push rod just dropped into the depths. It seems like it does not line up right with the rocker when I pull it up.
