I spent about 2500 on a rebuild by the guys who said they were "really good at it" in the sf Bay Area Oakland. ,boy what a mess ,no compression because the never adjusted the valve stems
Cost me another 3000 to fix what the first guys mangled !
So before you pop down the $ make sure the guys have an oldster hanging around that understand the job
Max Merritt has modified caddie hydraulic lifters that'll fit but the initial adjustment takes some expertise and a small adjusting puc ,don't let anyone forget the heat distribution tube and that a lot of the oiling lines are external!
