1990 e30 325i

Can anyone assist me with a e30 325i issue ( Rocker fingers keep moving from their location on the camshaft)
This camshaft is not fitted with springs and washer as most are, this one has clamps and I have tried new replacements. Thank you

Welcome!

I wasn't aware that there was any other rocker locating system than the spring clips which locate into a groove cut into the rocker shafts, one groove for each rocker - but hey, I'm ready to be enlightened.....

Could you upload a picture?
