help!
help! My car had been making a little tiking sound so i was going to look at it after work. On the way home it got louder and then it just stopped, but the car felt different. i opened up the valve cover and the #1 intake rocker bolt was broken. i had to drill it out re tap it and replace the bolt. when i started the car up again(valve cover still off) you could hear a really loud noise on the #1 cylinder. so my valve is fucked right? i dont have the money to fix it right now and i still need the car to get to work so my question is: will it be ok if i take out the rod and rocker arm for the #1 intake valve, put everything back together and disconect the fuel injector and ignition coil and just drive it on 7 cylinders? any input will help thanks!
Yea i think youll be ok. As long as there is nothing that fell into the cylinder. Plus it doesnt sound like you have much of an option. I would pull the spark plug to that cylinder as well, that way you dont get that anoying Jake-Brake effect.
thanks. i think i want to leave the spark plug in so nothing goes in there. the exhaust valve is still good so i shoulnt get that effect right?

Might be good idea to uplug the injector so it doesn't get fuel in that cylinder.
