Default fuel injection temp fix
Hey all,
I just broke a valve spring. After removing the broken pieces and opposite push rod, rocker arms, guide plate and studs. oh, and taking the tappets out, does anyone see a problem disconnecting the injector, removing and plugging the spark plug hole and removing the spark plug wire just to limp it home? (200 miles)

Only if you don't care if the engine is trashed by the time you get it home.

Without the lifter (tappet) in place, no oil pressure to the engine forward of that point. IT will be a massive internal leak.

Leave lifters in and they could be shot out by the cam. Would have no oil pressure. Same as with removing lifter. Tow it.
