Re: [Amc-list] 195.6 OHV

Just a caution on the pushrods, because I really do
want the car to work out for you.  My neighbor has a
Ford pickup with a V8 which was bending pushrods when
he bought it used.  It had had fresh machine work done
on the heads.  He sent it to a local machine shop
(that has done work for me successfully) and it still
bent pushrods after the machine work.  We believe that
the valve guides are still too tight.  He has been a
little strapped for money, so he has not worked with
the machine shop to correct the problem.  He's working
again now, so he plans to get the truck back on the
road soon.

So.....I hope the shop did good work and that your
valves have the proper clearance.
