Pulled my head to change a seeping head gasket.
While I was there checked my valve lash, (been hearing some noise in there) was hoping previous owner installed adjustable lifters when he did the motor back in the early '60's...no such luck. Cylinders look good with .80 over pistons installed by previous owner. Intake lash is: valve 2=.016, valve 3=.014, valve 6=.017, valve 7=.020 Exhaust lash is: valve 1=.018, valve 4=.016, valve 5= .016, valve 8=.017 Intake should be .013, so I have one close and three way out Exhaust should be .015, so I have two close and two way out This has to be resolved. Here's my plan: Head going in to get milled (tomorrow) New exhaust manifold (rear cyl. port is sagging out of alignment) Lap current valves (compression was 50-55 all cyl) New valve springs New valve guides Install single nut adjustable lifters Install new timing gear (since cam has to come out anyway) Clean oil pump since I'm there All comments and advice will be appreciated, and if you can add some humor into this that would be great too, since it took me two days to get that damn head off.
