I recently acquired a Ford 4000 diesel that was in fairly rough shape. The tractor had an obvious miss. Through a lot of process of elimination decided it was a valve issue. Removed the valve cover to see that the #3 cylinder rocker arms and valve springs were sludged up. Removed the rocker assembly for cleaning and found my problem. The rocker arms were not being lubricated and wore the rocker arms so much that the slack was no opening the exhaust valve. Replaced the rocker arms and cleaned the assembly well. Reinstalled the assembly with the new rocker arms and i'm still having a problem with getting oil to the rockers on that cylinder. More than before but nothing like the other two. Any ideas whats causing this? Exactly where does the oil feed from?
