Buckster Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 I'm fighting flu this week but I got started on my cam chest service while the weather is good. Removed the pushrods and lifters, I stripped the old lifters and one was very sticky, two were a bit sticky and one was fine. I cut the pushrods out with a bolt cutter after unloading them. Unfortunately I couldn't find my cam lock block so I had to stop there, one should arrive today. Also one of the lifter blocks is badly corroded so I am ordering a Preloved replacement off fleabay. While I am on I will be cleaning and lacquering the engine fins and touching up the black on the engine and transmission. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because I was putting adjustable ones in otherwise I would need to remove the rocker arms. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the idea of some mild cams but I have been offered some low mileage standard cams for free. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
