273 rocker arm adjustment
getting ready to go to the Silverwood Coaster Classic Car show this labor day weekend in Athol, ID
Its disheartening to think that i only get to take this car out once a year...anyway here is an update with bad news...
i took the rocker shafts off to see how they were doing and they are galling again on the bottom of the shafts where the big oil hole is to lubricate where the rocker arms bear on the bottom of the shafts.
Also noticed that some of the push rods ever so slightly contact the heads where the holes in the heads are for the push rods. it doesn't appear to be hurting anything just leaving very small marks in the push rods.
I am going to try to contact B3 here at FABO to see what he thinks about this oiling problem, and also to correct the geometry with a kit.
I just want to get this thing bullet proof.
