273 rocker losing adjustment
See below, the #7 exhaust rocker has backed off while I was driving. This happened once before but that time I blamed it on old age mind fog while doing the initial adjustment. Same rocker. It was fine for about 3 miles or so then it started pecking so I turned it around and back home. It was...
