Just a side note, I had a coupla engines break rocker shafts. The oil pressure gauge banged off "0" psi at 1/2 engine rpms. So pump resistance should reduce a bunch as the passage opens.

Very awesome, thnx for sharing.

Let us know when you're able to do a few simple tests at the vehicle. Cheers

Excellent thought.

My concern was a novice trying to align, put the rockers pushrods back in correctly, and the "why are some taller than others" valve spring questions . I was good till you got to taking rockers off. Carry on .

Yeah, take out the 2 bolts, start the drill/(turn the key) rotate crank at least 2 rotations, - 2 geysers to the ceiling, reinstall bolts, button it up. No messing with rockers etc, jmo

Bob, the only other time I saw an issue like this, the installer didn't know the engine sits something like 1 1/2 inches to the passenger side, and he had centered the engine in the frame and had major issues like you. I'd really be interested, I'm sure I asked before, where your engine/crank...

The 453 fit just about every model, but you certainly could be right.

That hole thru the rocker shaft can be probed all the way to the cam, but I don't recommend it, if you chop the end off with the cam, drama. There's a bend and a restriction at the hd gskt,

I'm convinced there's something outta whack with those headers. Trust me, I done bunchas. I haven't seen anyone have so many issues with sooo many different things .

I'm really at a loss as to why you're having so much trouble Bob, I wish I had a magic wand to help you out. I have had to remove the steering column and remove a few inches off the bottom of the column, and move the lower bearing up. I really don't remember which vehicle. Make sure you contact...

They aren't officially numbered to my knowledge, only as I stated. Drape a cloth over the holes cuz when you get it right, it may deliver a blast .

I don't have an answer yet, in my opinion it should hold pressure either way.

Hey Les, the old linelocs would occasionally leak, there was a kit avail, did a couple. Haven't had to try and repair a new style . Good luck https://www.amazon.com/Hurst-5671500-Line-Lock-Rebuild/dp/B000COATYG?tag=fabo03-20

These are 3 old cams I had in my shop, 2 have oiling holes in the same position in relation to keyway, the other is different, so using timing marks isn't reliable to find rocker oiling location. I don't have a timing set handy to set the cam timing up to crank.

Excuse me, but you really only need to pull the second rocker shaft bolt back on the drivers side, and the 4 th rocker bolt back on the passenger side to expose the oil gallery. Oil will shoot outta there when you get the right positions.

Kinda thinking a front brake pad compound, glazing, stuck caliper piston ?

You have front and rear brakes, dual master, the proportioning valve should be between master cyl and rear brakes only, with no effect on front brake pressure/application. The front brake circuit should have the line lock only. Once triggered, It should hold whatever pressure you apply, also has...

Just below the level your wife's china-cabinet becomes an orchestra, all by itself .

Can't tell, - the timing's really late .

Our Ferry Corp bought about a dozen "retired" ones to move baggage carts back and forth from the ferry to the terminal. I don't think any 2 were the same, "like a box of chocolates", everytime you lifted the hood, you never knew what power/trans/diff. They were geared to "tug", - top speed, high...

The first coupla z-bars I altered, I had to re-alter (re-clock) as well, lol The spring clip is easily overlooked, thnx Dave. The bar in backwards/reversed can mess it up too. Good luck, and patience .

The other common problem is wrong pivot mount on trans. The z-bar should be sorta square to the engine/trans assembly. Check a few posts ago. (trans section) Uncle Bob? Had some decent pics from above of shaft "attitude".

Edited last picture The down arm should swing freely between the two upper tubes. Adjust (bend) as nec. after the above modification.

If you modified the z-bar, or not, this is what the mod should be. We had a fella mod the z-bar, but "clocked it" wrong and kinda had issues like you are experiencing.

You were given a tremendous amount of good info in the opening posts, particularly AJ, but you chose to ignore, and in fact argue. There are a number of very knowledgeable and friendly folk here but every now and then there is a thread that accumulates 130+ posts that remedy nothing cuz the...

The alt pulley is now missing the shoulder nec for the proper puller to remove the pulley, cuz it's now pressed up against the case. You pressed the front half of the pulley on backwards .

I had to come back and add this . There have been few times in my life when I had the opportunity to see the **** faced grin of someone who has struggled, bled, cried, tempted divorce, to finally hear, see his dream move, make noise, and fire-up, open headers . That momentary look of...

Zactly, wasn't looking to be paid, gave a little guidance, got wrong attitude, walk away , right attitude, rolled up the sleeves.
