Figure the moral of the story is you really, really, need to locate that chunk. Snail would be a fine lodge spot, esp since it’s likely a stock AI with tight clearances. 

Yup out come will likely be the same either way!  Ah turbos are cheap!😁

I usually leave my wrench on the rocker arm adjuster and put just enough weighted down pressure on it to compress the push tube spring. You get a more true drag “response” back from the feeler gauge with the tube compressed.

 If the history is unknown  on this engine You should change out your rocker bolts if you haven't already!  DON'T TRUST THEM! Its and un written rule at our place to replace these if we don't have history of replacement ! had a few bad experiences!
