Chip,I go in order, from front to rear.My truck has a later car starter making it easy to spin over the engine with a pushbutton hooked up to the starter.You can jump around if it makes it simplier and you have more brain cells than me, I get so confused, lol.Yeah that break in lash setting sounds familar.I would rather run hydraulic lifters, but so many guys have reported problems with them on 235/261's.Hydraulics supposedly run with zero clearance,giving all the lift and duration designed into the cam.
When you think about it, we spend an awful lot of time messing with engines that are pushing the limit with 180 hp from 235-261 cubic inches.This is fun , not to be taken too serious.
Chip again, how's your engine coming along?did you get the machine shop straightened out?
