Default Flathead Friday: Cam, Lifters and Valve Lash. Progress!

Please find attached for your entertainment my latest video featuring the Crusty Flatty.

It's beginning to start to come together. I check the cam, scare up some lifters and then tackle the tricky job of setting valve lash. These are non adjustable lifters and with the deep cleanup cuts on the seats I have to trim the ends of the valves quite a lot. This is getting to be a dying skill, and once again I'm more or less self teaching and going from first principles.

I must stress I'm not an expert and offer this for entertainment only. I do share some little insights though that may help you if undertaking a similar task. The last part was previously published so you may have seen it before. Thanks for watching. Mart.
