Ok, so today, during the beautiful spring weather we have been having, I thought I would go ahead and change out my valve springs. I bought a set of the Comp Cams 980's. Long story short, I have two bent pushrods, one on each cylinder head. What I don't understand is how well this car has been running. It idles as smooth as can be. Now these arent the worst bend I have ever seen in pushrods, but they are bent none the less. The only thing I can think of is the guy that had this car before me said he had a timing chain and gear set put in. It must have happened then. Anyway, I ordered some from the parts house, they will be here tomorrow.
Also, what a paint to do valve springs..lol! I only wish I had the Kirban tool. I modified my compressor and made it through.
Any ideas from the engine gurus??
Thanks,
John
