Hi Slant fans. I purchased a 1967 Survivor Valiant. It has a overhauled 1964 170 engine. Receipts show new cam bearings, plus two additional times to remove the head. Each removal was to install 2 valve guide sleeves and resurface head. That was 10 years ago.
I’m trying to diagnose #1 and #6 misfire.
Removed valve cover to adjust valves. Found it absolutely dry. No trace of wet oil. I want to start with first steps to prove oil flow to rockers. There does not appear to be a flat or notch at either end of the rocker shaft. I’m going to try:
Remove spark plugs
Remove rear pedestal (what is the correct length of rear long bolt)
Crank engine to prove oil flow
Push a metal rod through pedestal oil hole to head bolt?
Remove head bolt then crank to prove oil flow?
I’m hoping the cam bearing is not blocking oil flow.
Another question. I do have a like new reman head Assembly from a 1968 225. Will it fit the 1964 170 engine?
Any prior experience of oil flow to head is appreciated...
