I got a roller LA motor from mid-80s fifth avenue. It was running when it was pulled (seen video) I want to do a cheap refresh, similar to
@RustyRatRod /6 build.
Just to get our 69 barracuda on the road. I started tearing into it, just to clean things up and re-gasket it, and the lifters will not come straight out of their bores, they all appear to only come up so far.
I haven't taken the camshaft out or the front cover, just the intake, rockers and push rods out. Attached is a picture do they come out the bottom of the bores?
I'm not familiar with roller motors but this seems weird.
