I doubt Ive had the valves covers off of more than 10 engines, one of them was loaded with gunk. I asked what oil theyd used, it was Pennzoil, Ive never used that stuff since,, I know, thats not fair, I have no idea IF they changed the oil or how often, I dont remember why we pulled the cover, or if I even continued with the project.. I have been known to walk away from things that look like a waste of time..
You guys remember those old Matadors?( 72/73) A guy in the AF had one, absolutely gutless piece of crap, decided he wanted to rebuild it.,.mite have been 5 or 6 of us in that,, My big part of the project was keeping parts organized so it would go back together. Sadly, NO ONes job seemed to be knowing enough to solve the problem while it was apart.. Did anyone know we needed to hone the cylinders? Noooo,, so, we slapped rings in, never touched the valves & called it a "Rebuild",, HA!! BUncha 18 y/o kids with no experience at all. Amazing we even got it back to gether..
