I have done very little in the past week or so other than a little cleaning and purchasing. I did finally identify all of my engine parts. My block is actually a 428ci Cobra Jet. This gives me a lot of choices if I want to beef up the horsepower.
I have finished one of the heads. I will be working on the second head this weekend in hopes of getting them back together very soon and shelved.

Cleaned and Finished
|
This week I did get new lifters, a new cam, and new valves. On top of having different lifters in the car, a few of them are stuck. It has been nice sitting at my desk working on paperwork while taking apart each lifter just to see if they were all good.
I probably will not tackle replacing the cam, since it is not pitted or lobed. I purchased the cam and lifters together for the bargain price on eBay of $36.00. It never hurts to have extra parts to trade.

You are going to have uneven wear on the cam lobes thanks to all the mismatched parts. If you have a new cam I would go ahead and install it.
ReplyDeleteYou are probably right. I am going to use a micrometer today to check.
