I began reassembling the painted parts to my truck today. I began tightening everything down and started the injection pump removal. The air compressor housing was already loose so i figured i would take it off to make working on the inj pump easier. i removed the compressor bracket and what i saw is in the attached picture. what your looking at is the farthest pushrod to the front of the truck on the driver side. it immediately struck me as odd because there was a large nut around the rod and loose at the bottom resting on the seat. its loose and slides freely up and down along the rod. The rod isnt loose it does not move up or down at all but does spin. The nut looks to be the exact same size as the nuts that secure the head to the block. im going to remove the valve covers and snap a few pictures as well. Has anyone got any suggestions as to where this nut came from ir what its supposed to be attached to? i dont want to drive it and ive had another member suggest that this could have mistakenly been dropped and fell onto the pushrod and forgotten.
