I recently installed a stage 2 kit in my Predator 212 Hemi. While I was testing it out, the valve lash adjustment screw on the exhaust rocker backed out and allowed the pushrod to fall out from beneath the rocker. No big deal, this happened once before and all I did was reset the lash and I was fine. Now, after setting the lash multiple times, I can not get the engine to idle. It will only start with starting fluid, idle for about 5 seconds, and then die. The pushrods aren't bent, and when I cycle the engine everything works as it should valvetrain wise. I picked up a new carb to see if that would fix it (last time I couldn't get my engine running I just swapped the carb and it fixed it...plus it's only $12). But if/when that doesn't work, what should I try? (EDIT: It didn't work.)
