So I was bored waiting for heads to come back. Decided i didnt like the chrome timing cover and i wanted to work some body color into the engine. Paint is close to body color its a shade or 2 off but thats ok.

So my neighbor came over today to help me with my valve train. Discovered i had a few pushrods hitting the side of the heads coming though. So we clearanced some room for them and things went together alot better. I had him come over because I did sense there was something that wasnt right but having never set it up before I didnt know if it were normal or not.
