Rocker Arm In Up Position with No Pressure on Pushrod
I am having a problem with my rocker setup. I have an olds 350, #5 Heads, and I am using the Comp Cams roller tip kit. It seems that I am having an issue where I have tension on the pushrod all the way through the stroke except for a split second when the valve begins to close. The pushrod loses contact with the rocker yet the rocker is still in the up position. I don't understand how that is possible. The springs should keep the pressure on the valve on the way down. If you keep turning it eventually comes down, but will do the same thing on the next cycle. Please have a look at the video, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I cant move the rocker when it is in the loose position... Thing is that it will come down by itself its just at that particular point it allows that separation.. I would think that the valve would never move from that position if it were truly stuck.. I guess either way the head has to come off.

well, start by taking that cylinder's rockers off, inspect the rockers for witness marks of binding or interference. Using a suitable pry tool or whatnot, check the operation of the valve/spring w/o the rocker in place. Should pinpoint the problem quickly.
