What causes a cam to go flat in a 1970 350?
Generally just normal wear and tear. Also if a rocker arm is too loose it may cause abnormal wear, loose hydraulics usually have a loud clicking sound to them. Another cause could be a plugged oil galley from the cam shaft bearing, if this happens, normally you will not have oil at the valve rocker arm.
Why do Valves keep needing to be adjusted?
Depending on the vehicle there are many wear points involved. There is wear at the valve seats, valve guides, valve stem, rocker arm to valve, rocker arm to pushrod, pushrod to lifter, lifter to camshaft and cam shaft. Some of these are eliminated if you have a overhead camshaft type engine. As the mileage piles up you may wear a few thousands on an inch at each wear point resulting in hearing ticking noises and loss of performance. With regular oil changes and proper adjustments you shouldn't have to keep adjusting them. Follow the manufacturer's recomendations.
Why are your rocker arms tapping when the engine is hot?
Rocker arms may tap when the engine is hot due to insufficient lubrication, which can cause increased wear and a lack of proper valve adjustment. As the engine warms up, oil viscosity decreases, leading to inadequate oil flow to the rocker arms. Additionally, worn or damaged components, such as pushrods or rocker arm bearings, can also contribute to the noise. Regular maintenance, including checking oil levels and adjusting valve clearances, can help mitigate this issue.
What is the purpose of the rocker arm?
In traditional engines (not overhead cam), the camshaft pushes lifters UP. Lifters push the pushrods UP, but the valves need to be pushed DOWN... so the rocker arm "rocks" on a shaft that pushes one side down when the other side goes up. It's not a difficult job. Rocker arms aren't doing the most stressful job in the engine, but they do eventually wear out. Part of the problem is, Engineers attempt to make the rocker arms s light as possible so they can move back when the camshaft/lifter/push rod relaxes. The weight of the valve train (all those components PLUS the weight of the valves) tend to contribute to valve "float", that's when the spring can't push that mass of material back fast enough when the engine is operating at high RPM. Since the valve train has deliberately been kept "lightweight", they tend to wear. That's one of the reasons for an overhead cam in an engine. You do away with the push rod and rocker.
What colors should you wear to be a punk rocker?

Who was the first rocker to wear leather?
gege vincent
What is effect of excessive wear of rocker arms valve contact point to engine operation?
rocker arms operate the valves that allow fuel into the cylinder and exhaust out. if they are worn then the valves won't fully reducing fuel admitted and so reducing power output for the effect.
What happens if you put wrong oil into lawn mower?
Engine wear and damage can occur.
What happens if I mixed 2-cycle oil with 4-cycle oil in a Honda engine?
You will cause severe engine wear.
Would a bad rear main seal leak transmission fluid?
No a rear main seal is the rear seal on the crank shaft of the engine. That portion of the engine is wear the crank shaft connects to the clutch and pressure plate (manual transmission) or where it connects to the torque convertor automatic transmission.
What the reason white smoke emitting at rocker cover breather on 8 V 71 Detroit diesel engine?
If White smoke with oil come out from DDC running Engine Breather out let, it symptoms of Piston Ring set wear out and injector has to be calibrated,
What does bent rods sound like on a 350 engine?
If you are talking about the PISTON RODS then they will not make any noise. The engine will just wear the pistons and cylinder walls until you have a problem with oil comsupition. If the push rods or bent then you will have a engine miss and rocker arm noise in the valve covers/ clatting noise.
