Quote: 71sat...I always check the lifter bores...hone and fit each lifter..(most guys who know there stuff will at least run a ball hone through the bores..it's a piece of mind thing) but I'm big on lifter indexing anyway
ouch ....
rob , dan degreed in a couple of lobes on each bank and the numbers looked good , the problem wasn't that the lifters didn't fit in the bore ...
it was a learning experience for us all .
to those that want to contribute , thank you for the offer . as before , i wouldn't want to be accused of soliciting others to fund an engine for my personal use , i do appreciate the offers though .
i have also decided to do the needed cage work to my dart and if brians not in a hurry i plan to driop the engine in it in the spring and see how it runs , as long as brian ain't in a hurry for the heads ...
i've also got some hughes scrap iron for sale cheap ...
