When does money outweigh sentimental value? 1968 notchback build thread
So here's some updates. We'll see if I can pick up where I left off. EDM lifters, spent some time checking rotation and finding bores for each lifter. You can see my paint marks in one of the pics. Turned the engine over by hand a lot to make sure the lifters rotated. Checked the oil pressure with a drill. That went well, other than my oil filter block plate leaked at first and made a mess. Had some rocker oiling woes. Couldn't get oil to a few rockers. These were supposedly NOS erson rockers and still had what seemed like cosmoline on them. I thought maybe the grease on them was clogging up the oil holes. But upon disassembly I found a chipped race and a needle bearing fat add falling out. Found the Torrington number and reordered and reinstalled.
