Dougs 67 Notch build
Below are some photos of the rest of my engine build. I checked piston/valve clearance with the clay method using the stock solid lifters and pushrods. As expected, all was good but good to know as well. I found TDC with my piston stop and marked the new location on the aftermarket harmonic balancer. Then I installed the heads with the .028 compressed gaskets, impressed with the quality. I soaked the Lunati hydraulic lifters in fresh oil and pumped them up and installed them in the block. Then following the Lunati instructions I set zero lash + 1/2 turn on all valves on both banks. The pushrods I selected work fine, not as close to the rockers as it looks in the photo. Buttoned everything and will paint body color after the first of the year.
Cheers of the season to all-DR:coffee2:
