Before reassembly, get your rotating parts balanced. Cams and lifters are cheap and vital, so you may want to look at getting those new. New bushings for the shift linkage are a good idea. Are you doing fuel injection? You may want to get the injectors checked or replace them. I just had my 2.0L rebuilt, so feel free to call with any questions.

What to balance:
Crank, pistons, connecting rods, fly wheel, pressure plate, and cooling fan. Every thing that rotates. Mine was done by King Balancing in Glendale. |

If you are going to keep the tail shifter then I would replace ALL the shift bushings including the two balls next to the firewall. This is where the shift linkage changes direction and if the BOOT is broken or gone then dirt is in there.

You will also need to use the '72 engine bar.

You also should take apart the gear selector in the cabin and replace the 2 bushings and spring in there. See the end of my tranny rebuild article for part numbers. Check for wear in the contact area between the shift rod and the tail shift tail connection. Once you fix all of this, adjust the gear selector using the direction at the end of my tranny rebuild article.
