The intake valve will lose clearance and the valve will open slightly. So it doesn't matter where your main focus is on. If you do focus on the push rod side it will move first until the clearance of the valve setting is gone then the rocker will get tight and move the valve.
Hope that is what you did not u8nderstand.

Thank you for the reply dark here now but tomorrow morning I can get going on that flywheel is torqued down to I think 90 90 foot pounds and it's entirely possible because that rocker arm was extremely loose then when I started the engine it was because of that and not so much because of that bump that might be missing like you're saying I don't know but tomorrow morning but thanks for the additional information.

But the one thing that I really should mention because to figure something out you have to know all the background or the problem what was going on is it it was smoking like white smoke coming out of the muffler area and then when I shut down the engine there would be smoke coming out of the intake white smoke so and I thought I was losing power but I'm not positive on that but that's why I got the whole thing apart.
