Oil.

The rocker arm floats freely on the shaft.

Why is it wearing on the head?

How much wear is there?

My G13BA has signs of metal to metal rubbing against each other. The wear is negligible.

About 3 of them are doing that it runs really smooth If it was a busted piston wouldn't it be missing or running rough or something?

Engines with broken pistons run really well. I drove one from Charlotte to Philadelphia and then to Wichita before it got fixed. They're noisy at idle, but run nicely. Not recommended, OK?

The hydraulic lifters on the G13BA get noisy because someone forgot that changing the oil is a good idea.

Replacement is easy. A new set of lifters is not so expensive. Change the oil and filter when you install them.

Check Ebay.
