Budget Build 5.9 for a 71 Scamp
So I finally got all the lifters out.
The 8 rearmost lifters were pretty stuck. I soaked them overnight with Kroil, and was able to get them out but rotating them with a 20mm wrench on the flat portion of the lifter while I pushed up from below with a gloved finger!
Funny, the cam has rust one the rearmost 4 lobes. I hope this isn't a problem... I do plan on getting the cam reground, hopefully the regrind takes care of this issue?
Other thing I notice was that the cam bearings look pretty bad. I will be replacing these. Any rec's on brand is helpful as always...
