RE: dont think so!!

Craig is spot on right. If you mix up the pushrods and get them in the wrong holes thare IS A PROABLEM with oiling and vale train noise. I took down my '69 360 and during reassembly I got pushrods mixed up. Upon visual inspection I said, "Aww , there all the same.....at least they all look the same." As Craig has pointed out, this error resulted in an oiling proablem and a loud valve train. It took me HOURS to get them right again and I surley learned a valuable lesson. As for reassembly.....when you get the pushrods right then tighten down in 1/4 turns until the clacking stops then give it one (1) more 1/4 turn. If you have the intake manifold off during this job then do it with it off. Easier since you dont have to lean over a running engine and get oil all over your hands and shirt.
This thread, so far...
