Re: Update E-F/SA Bird Build...
Well, that blows...I won't whine anymore about my problems. No doubt you will get it squared away quickly.

Re: Update E-F/SA Bird Build...
Sorry to hear...at least the motors still in one piece. How much valve-to-piston clearance did you have? -Al

Re: Update E-F/SA Bird Build...
Bummer, Brent. If you need anything, let me know. Are all the keepers intact?

Re: Update E-F/SA Bird Build...
Removed heads, #4 exh valve bent, as suspected... only went to 5700-5800.
Pulling shortblock tonight, to check #4 bearing, and make sure its not passing anything, as the filter was pretty clean, but, lifters already showing wear. Cam still looks fair. Also alot easier to degree cam, and i have a pan bolt, along passenger side, that is leaking a bit...( a first for me) ...Chris at Comp is gonna be working on a new grind for me, and we will figure out springs and lifters...Hope to be ready for testing, before Joliet.... fingers crossed...Piston had very small spot on it...
