Thank you very much for your input Gary. For whatever reason, the magazine covering the car decided to solicit "opinions" about OUR restoration from individuals that couldn't find their butt with both hands!
I can't speak for other engines (I see people posting pictures of small and big blocks) but on the slant six I'm 100% positive because I had to do so many of the damn things adjusting valves.
Rubber gasket with painted tabs (one way to tell the darn thing had never had an adjustment) always cracked me up that Chrysler waited till the 80's to make the engine with a hydralic cam!
I had to rebuild one (225 with hydralic cam) in a truck that lost oil pressure and killed the crank & rods. Chrysler refused to replace the shortblock because the block was still good! madness.
