Re: 78 Scottsdale 2wd

So i bent all of my exhaust pushrods when I was trying to fire it up.

I had to do some stuff to figure out why, but it seems as though the exhaust valves are about .0100 shorter than the intake valves, which caused the rocker to bottom out on the valve seal and bend the exhaust pushrods...

****ing weird... I didn't put the motor together, it just came with the truck and had supposedly been "gone through" recently... Oh well, I've got some new pushrods coming and some .050 retainers that should give me the clearance I need for my cam.

Getting closer, this is the fun part I guess.
