I had it towed to a car repair center and they took off the valve cover and said I needed a new engine , as they drooled over it. I knew that I did not need a new engine. I saw that the rocker arm had fallen off, and looked at the guides to the timing chain, and everything looked very clean and on. The springs where intact, the valves looked straight. How do I place on the rocker arm?.
Possibly caused by failed Hydraulic Ball Stud or damaged rocker.
