So Tuesday Jan 19th was cold & rainy, and so was Wednesday the 20th. We did manage to get some nit noid stuff done. Dave finished up putting in the new fuel tank and finally got the locking cap off, and I decided to pop the valve cover and change the valve seals. Unfortunately though, I discovered two push rod ends staring at me once I got the valve cover off. Hopefully, they’re just collapsed lifters, because one of the rods (#4 intake) was actually bent, whereas #5 intake was still straight as an arrow… which explains why it still runs… like crap, but still runs. Hopefully, we got lucky and he can fix this without a complete rebuild.

Wait – what are those shiny things?

Aww – crap.

Uh-oh
