Thanks for your advice about "leak down" testing. I will try that when the valves and head are back in place.


When I inspected and cleaned the lifters, the spring plunger didn't want to mate up very well with the lifter body. I was concerned about this.

Do you know where I could buy a few new or good used hydraulic lifters? Where can I buy new valve springs should I find some weak ones?

I have checked the cam and ignition timing several times, and will again confirm those settings when I reassemble.

I am getting the valve spring tension checked at the rebuilders now.

Thank again, John Verity
