67 GTS 4-Speed: Daily Summer Driver
Life is really busy... but I was able to finally look into adding in the lifter, putting in a new rocker and rocker shaft, reinstall the the keepers and be good to go! well that didnt exactly happen. As I looked into the keepers, I noticed I had 4 groove and 2 groove valve stems. Looking into it further it looked like everything was installed right until I started to notice differences between stock 906 heads and the ones on the car. The retainers didnt look the same and the gap on the keepers for the intake valve was about double than what was on a stock 906 head. The differences are pointed out
here. So I learned a lot about valves this weekend.
As I looked through my receipts I noticed that I ordered did not end up on the heads. I initially ordered the wrong stuff way back when and I guess the machine shop used what ever they had on hand. So not knowing what they used I believe it would be best to just get new valve retainers and keepers and be done with it. So on to source those components in hopes to actually get the car on the road, reliably
