I have a 46 pu with a 235 & I got a fairly clean looking one off craigslist which wouldnt turn over by hand and most likely will go into a 5 wondow 1950 pu I have.
Ive read most the engine threads on here amd youtube videos including the carbkings catn vids
I used marvel mystery oil etc and got her freedup. Moved the pistons by hand to see if that would help. Pulling the head wasnt bad as a one person job but setting it back on has its chachallenges. Suggestions on that besides gey a helper?
Take it easy on my hillbilly self ~ new this and not.much help local car club etc
Respectfully

Give me ambiguity
or give me something else

that is the only way I can think it would affect the head setting right | | | | | Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 Bubba - Curmudgeon | | Bubba - Curmudgeon Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 | What year 235 (year of head and year of block)? Did you follow the procedure after "Installation"? You put the head on and torque it, Then, put the push rods in place, Then, put the rocker arm assembly in place (over the push rods), Then tighten down the rocker arm assembly, moving from bolt to bolt? | | | | | Joined: Dec 2008 Posts: 87 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Dec 2008 Posts: 87 |
