Working on a friends car and noticed what looks like five tiny holes drilled from underneath. There are raised ridges around them. This is only on one rocker. Why?
Learning to count with a center punch.looks like some clown punched it .
Balancer is factory internal type.
Betting it's an earlier mismatch with 70-up timing cover unless it's slipped 6 inches or so..
5 speed car eh? Possibly roached crank thrust bearing causing the bad vibes?
That's a good bet.I'm betting this wasn't installed correctly and the trans is angled way down causing the u joints to be out of phase badly.
The Tremec conversions require cutting the entire trans tunnel out because they are so bulky. I'm betting this wasn't installed correctly and the trans is angled way down causing the u joints to be out of phase badly. One glance underneath should tell you all you need to know. Take a pic.
Oh and somebody labled that rocker for cylinder #5 with a center punch--no big deal just poor execution when a black Sharpie works the same.

Yes, yes, and yes.In any case they look to be man made and pretty stupid thing to do on a highly stressed component
not drilled from underneath. if stamped for #5, why is it at #2 now? run it, or remove all and inspect all
