[Amc-list] rambler 327

[d stohler <das24rules@xxxxxxxxx>]

i have almost given up on my 65 287. as some people
may know, i spent forever trying to find lifters and
pushrods for it. i got them in and got it running.
this weekend i pulled the front end of the engine
apart. the chain is stretched a lot. it was one tooth
off. i set it dead on. ran like CRAP. wouldnt even
idle. i set it one more tooth retarded, worse. set it
back to where it originally was, idled, still now
power. set it one tooth advanced. wouldnt hardly idle.
set it back to the original location, idled with no
power as always. started tapping real loud in the left
bank and had a dead cylinder again. the valve that was
stuck when i first got it, and fought to get it loose
siezed back up. bent a BRAND NEW pushrod. in a z
shape. was H*LL to get it out. i am HATING this
engine. my buddy has equipment to do a valve job. i
dont know if i even want to keep screwing with this
engine. in early july i am going to be going up to
cincinatti area. anyone ANYWHERE within a couple
hundred miles have a 327 i could pickup? i am tired of
messing with this little 287. i still need a
bellhousing for the t86/od. PLEASE someone  help? im
about tired of this engine.
