Ok I am calling in the experts. I was attempting to start an old Y-Block that has set for 10 years. I removed the valve covers and lubed the top end and checked the valves. One push rod was about 1/2 inch from touching the bottom of the rocker bolt. I took hold of the end of the push rod and it dropped out of sight into the block. Obviously, the valve is stuck. Before I attempt to tap it loose, I am wondering how far that push rod went. In a Y-Block can it go all the way to the oil pan or can it hold up in the oil galley? If I can not retireve it from the head, can I possibly get it by just removing the intake? I believe this is a 292.
