I bought the white Dorman washers and put them on the rods/pins but I realized my car was completely missing the lever that you put the rod/pin into. My question is what exactly is that lever called that opens up the valves? I'm having trouble finding it to buy a replacement. I added an image of the part I'm talking about.

Good evening,

I attached some pictures for you to view of the system.

Do you mean the rod or the lever. I see the lever and the rod in the picture.

The lever is part of the lower intake manifold if that is the issue.
