A318: adjuster screw broken

MowagW200 · Post by **MowagW200** » Sat Jan 21, 2006 8:24 am

To remove the push rods we removed the adjuster screws in the rocker arms of my poly.

Unfortunately one screw broke because there was a small, invisible when mounted, crack just under the upper hex nut. Do you have an idea (or experience) how to remove the rest of the screw out of the rocker arm?
The number stamped just under the drivers side cyl head is S31800006 (one more or one less 0 between 318 and 6 is possible). The engine looks internal like new. The removed original camshaft has no wearing marks on the bearings nor there is any oil slime in the engine block.
Thanks for any advise.

i just used some penetrateing oil and spun all mine out. they will be tight, if they are good. but all of them should come out without issue if they arent broke like that one was.
