Introducing Project "Scabra Tulitque"
I borrowed the original rocker shafts and rocker arms to use on a 340/305 project motor I am working on. Recently, I finally purchased a second set of used 273 rocker arms/shafts and this month I plan on installing them. Needed to clean/brush the inside of the shafts, replace the end plugs, polish up the rocker tips, and a quick hone job inside the rocker arms. The adjusting screws were bathed in PB Blaster time and again. So far the rusty valve covers have been degreased, rubbed down with a scratch pad, and have one coat of Ospho. Now trying to clean up the rocker shaft bolt holes a little. Just trying to get the engine running again so I can move the vehicle around accordingly. Not a rebuild!
