Sorry for the delay, gang. I thought I was subscribed to this thread but I guess not.
Okay, thanks for all the input. Sounds perfectly reasonable to me. I had discussed the sticky valve here last year and the general consensus seemed to be to pull the head and check on what the issue was, but I don't disagree that this might be unnecessary. I have done a handful of things to try to loosen it but it's still a little sticky. It does open and close all the way with only slight persuasion, so I'm not going to be too surprised if it does loosen up like you guys suggest it might.
I'll work on getting it running (exciting!). I was about at this point last year but got distracted.
Question: In an article here is says to remove the distributor and spin the gear below with a drill to build oil pressure, and that you'll feel the gear torque up when pressure is achieved. I spun that thing for a long time last year and never really felt it torque up. Am I doing something wrong? Can anyone elaborate more?
I/m definitely replacing 100% of the brake system, no question. I'll have some questions about that later.
Thanks again.
Dan
