Gang Green 68 GTS

I detected an engine tap and assumed that one of the rockers needed adjustment, So I pulled the left valve cover. I could tell right away that some of the rockers on that side had run hot since they where blue. Immediately pulled the right side and found no fault. I disassembled the left shaft to find it galled and several rocker bores bad. The engine had already been broken in on initial start up, up at 2000rpms immediately. I think thats when it initially starved for oil. Engine ran , started, stopped 8-10 times with maybe 2 hours of running time total. Anyhow I ordered a new shaft and rockers for that side. Meanwhile, I found an old set of Valve Covers to cut the tops out of. Since some of the parts were on backorder, I decided to clean up the old shaft and rockers with emery cloth and reassembled on the engine, and install the observation valve covers. I determined at start up that indeed it is getting oil to both sides. Now waiting on new rockers. I have a complete new interior for this car, but I plan to drive it some, and then work on the Quarter panels and paint later. New interior after that. But.. the front seats looked pretty ratty, so I ordered some cheap seat covers and the Wife gave me an old pillow for the driver seat. I went ahead and puled out the broken windshield. Spent Hours removing the 48yr old rusted window trim clips and screws. Now that I'm waiting on parts, I may pull down the dash and check it all out and repair as needed before the new windshield goes back in. One thing ALWAYS leads to another !!!
