Was wondering what your folks' suggestions would be to remove the valve lifters/tappets out of the engine?
Thanks! | | | | | Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 1,847 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 1,847 | I used a pair of pliers with cardboard taped over the jaws. I only grabbed them at the upper portion so if I did leave a mark it wouldn't matter. (it didn't) Did you ever get it to turn over? | | | | | Joined: Nov 2011 Posts: 196 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Nov 2011 Posts: 196 | Nope!Not turning. Taking it apart....
Thanks for your suggesttions!! | | | | | Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 9,115 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 9,115 | If you haven't done it already, you might want to put some type of chemical to loosen them up in the bores. I personally like Fluid Film for this type of situation. | | | | | Joined: Jun 2008 Posts: 1,388 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jun 2008 Posts: 1,388 | Fluid Film. I always call it sheep-spray. I've always pictured a Loney-Tunes type factory, where sheep go in one side, and chops and fluid film comes out the other side.
If you've never seen Fluid Film, or used it, its got lanolin in it. I use it to coat my steel clamps when exposed to salt water. In fact, I've had clamps in the ocean for a month at a time, with no corrosion. It does smell funny though! Good stuff.
To keep this vaguely stovebolt related.... Outside behind my garage, languishing under a tarp, is my spare 216 motor. I know its' preserved, as I coated it with fluid film three years ago! | | |
