Ed Pruss, I did not know exactly what you were talking about on tightening the intake with exhaust loose. ---I do now.--- Thanks for the advice.
HL -- Napa in this region did not stock the Permtex 300 Super -- go figure. Will check Walmart.
Cleaning oem lifters is relatively easy --- just don't lose that itty bitty check spring under the ball. Monday I will restart and see if all the newer lifters have pumped up. The newer lifters have no bleed hole in the top but did soak in overnite in a butter bowl of 5w-30. I run straight 30w in the truck.
Group is taking a cruise to Greenbo lake state park today --wife and I are driving the 70 442.
