360 Advice Needed...
I thought I would pass along an update, since I did get the help I needed from here.
I poured a can of "Seafoam" into the engine oil and finished installing oil pressure, water temperature and a voltage guages on the car. I let the car run for almost an hour and once the engine came up to temp plus 15minutes later the engine "Tick" went away and hasn't returned. Idle quality is great...
Starting the engine cold it had 70lbs of oil pressure, 20 minutes later the water temp was 170 degrees along with 27lbs of oil pressure.
I think I am going to let the engine be as it is now and move onto paint and body and interior work. At some point I will replace valve springs before things get to serious and maybe the cam. That will be much later inthe future.
Thanks again
Jim
