Ugh, don't ask.....I am not entirely happy with the guide plates that I bought with the studs. Had to grind off corners, etc. to get them to fit, and they are still not exactly what I would like to see. Anyway, still working on tweaking the valve train. The rocker arms on the very back of the engine seem harder to adjust than the rest. Hopefully John will come over tonight and we can study the lifter travel with his measuring instrument. I quit getting out the intake manifold, as some little snag would come up and I would just have to put it back again. LOL oh well....hangin in there. -Lu- --- In BaadAssGremlins@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, AMC74HORNET@xxxx wrote: > You made the right decision Lu. How are you comeing on the engine > assembly. > "Doc"
