Hey guys, hoping you can help me out. I'm wondering what the torque should be on the rocker assembly. We pulled the 235 outa my dads 53 end removed the rocker assembly to lift from the head bolts, and now its time to go back on!! Also he has a project 47 burb with V8 that he bought vintage air for years ago, and we've come to the conclusion it'll be years before its done. So... we are gonna put the air in the 53 and we're wondering about a double pulley on the harmonic balencer. Any ideas on where to find one?
