thank you for the info..
I only removed one side at a time......... so I could use the other as a guide. plus I took pictures.... I got it back together and have removed the drivers side tubes for cleaning and painting... have all my tins cleaned up, wire wheeled and painted. heat pieces too, except for the ss exchangers. transmission cleaned and painted... 95% of the block cleaned, not painted. next up after the drivers side push rod tubes is to see if I can figure out how to set the valves. I have read many posts on it... still, it is an adventure. thanks again. randal |
