OMG, guess i should have checked the innernet before putting it back together. I got the valves installed, it wasn't too bad, i made my own spring compressor out of a couple peices of wood, then leaned on 'em. good thing I'm not a twig, but too bad I didn't have swanny over
anyway, the stock hydraulic lifters were made for late model valves (i got '83 style - longer) so the valves don't close all the way. luckily, someone is always selling a set of mechanical rockers. so i'll have it all ready to go by the time i get the required gaskets.
PEACE!
