67/68/69 cuda dilemma
Bottom end still needs to come apart, however today i decided to rotary file off the casting parting lines and flash. Not really needed for a mild 318, but this imparts stress risers and just looks like ***. Plus I cleaned up the drains in the lifter valley. We will run a Milodon valley pan so if this thing bends a pushrod we wont push out a lifter that will kill oil pressure or lodge itself in the cam lobes. $35 its cheap assurance. I will also be doing the oiling mods as well before she goes for a swim in the hot tank.
