Cam follower displaced .........

[rodofcv]

I don't seem to be doing too well of late! In preparing to remove my cracked cylinder head I was carefully lifting out the push rods. Not carefully enough it would seem since the cam follower for the last one lifted too (surface tension and all that I assume) and when it fell, it didn't fall back to the cam. The question is how do you get it back where it's supposed to be?

 

All suggestions welcome.

 

Thank you

Rod

An extendable magnetic pickup tool will probably do the job.

Hi Rod,

if you are taking the head off all will be revealed when off.
