All 12V (First and second gens) suffer from this problem and many 24V's as well. On the 24v's - some have the upgraded timing cover with the step that prevents the dowel pin from backing out and some do not. Check out post #14 here: https://www.dieselbombers.com/24-val...-question.html



I know I sleep better at night knowing mines taken care of.

Yeah, you never know when its going to hit. Mine had backed out 1/8" or so. Sure is an $$ fix if you dont catch it.
