Re: Rebuilt Flathead Problems.
So today while awaiting valve parts to show up I decided to get brave and drill the lifter bores to accommodate using something other than the Johnson style lifter adjustment tools. Happened to have an extra long drill type chuck and a 1/8" drill that just happens to fit it. Piece of cake really compared to some of the other crap I have been going through on this motor. Seeing as I have the pan off and could get at the lower end to make sure there are no random chips or debris where there shouldn't be I figured why not do it. Another of the things the builder was supposed to take care of that he didn't do. Still need to run some emery cloth down the bores to make sure there are no burrs. A couple pics.
