[AMC-list] lifters froze, any ideas?

[das24rules@xxxxxxxxx]

so, i got my aluminum 196 taken almost all the way down tonight. FINALLY got
the 2 froze pistons out. i dont think they are any good anymore. LOL. i got
another set anyway. the lifters are froze. i got the cam to make about 1/2 a
revolution, but i have a few froze lifters. i can slide the cam out a little,
but lifters arent moved quite enough. any ideas? they are soaking in pb
blaster overnight. i can not beleive how much lighter that block is than the
cast iron. theres probably 100 lbs difference. that block only weighs about
50lbs max. are those lifters specific to that motor, or are they the same as
the later 199/232? i hope same as later. what about cams. how different is
the cast iron cam with solid lifters, than the hydraulics in the aluminum
motor? i think the aluminum is hydraulic anyway. they look it. i did a quick
hone job on the cylinders. they look GREAT. no pitting, or lip where the 2
pistons were froze. the oil pump gear has a few teeth broke on it. would the
drive gear on the cast iron probably be the same? if so, i will just swap the
pump gears. that motor was NASTY. it got pressure washed inside and out. looks
like aluminum again instead of a heap of oil/dirt. get this cam and lifters
out so i can send it to the old school machine shop here.
