Ninjaneer11 Posted November 28, 2019 Report Share Posted November 28, 2019 I'm assembling the head on my 76 620 and am not sure where to install these clips. The machine shop gave them back to me in a bag with the rest of the head pieces. I checked several diagrams and the factory service manual, but don't see anything that looks like them. I couldn't get the image to insert on the post, here is the link to imgur. L20b clip Quote Link to comment
Ninjaneer11 Posted November 28, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2019 Tried again and got it to post. This is the clip Quote Link to comment
banzai510(hainz) Posted November 28, 2019 Report Share Posted November 28, 2019 I was going to say it was for the rocker arms the the rat trap springs that it clips too but it looks different .Maybe was left over from somebody else’s motor .unless you have 8 of them. Quote Link to comment
Ninjaneer11 Posted November 28, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2019 Yes, I have 8 of them. They were in a bag with the mouse trap springs also. They look like they would fit on just under the ball of the rocker arm adjustment screw, but I don't know if that's right. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted November 28, 2019 Report Share Posted November 28, 2019 Maybe that one is broken, but looks like the bottom part of the 'mouse trap' spring. Quote Link to comment
Ninjaneer11 Posted November 28, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2019 These are different than the bottom piece of the mouse trap spring, because I have those also. All 8 of them look the same. I went ahead and put the rest of the head together, but wanted to ask before I lash the valves or anything. Might be from another engine? If no one here knows what they are then I'm not too worried. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted November 28, 2019 Report Share Posted November 28, 2019 That's what I'm thinking too. Quote Link to comment
Stoffregen Motorsports Posted November 28, 2019 Report Share Posted November 28, 2019 Your clips are installed backwards. Look at the pic Mike posted and you will see how they are oriented. 14 hours ago, Ninjaneer11 said: Quote Link to comment
Stoffregen Motorsports Posted November 28, 2019 Report Share Posted November 28, 2019 FYI - full race engines run without mousetrap springs. Quote Link to comment
Ninjaneer11 Posted November 28, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2019 Thanks Stoffregen. Wasn't even thinking about it when I put them on last night. This is just a stock rebuild, so I'll be running with the springs. 1 Quote Link to comment
