I have a 79 chevy with 350. It was backfiring and i couldnt figure out why. I ripped the valve cover off, and I finnaly noticed that one of the studs is sticking out about a quarter inch farther than the other ones. What can i do to fix this, if i can at all.
Studs for the rockers, sry.
I see you have the press in studs for your heads. Did you or someone else put a bigger cam in the car? A high lift cam would cause press in studs to move. To fix it, you could take it to a shop that can press the stud back in then have them drill a hole through head and stud and install a pin to prevent the stud from moving .
