I'm
at what I said about the "in & out" thing Jeff! I should have realized that with our comp ratio & flattop/dished pistons the chamber volume has to be waaay small! Thank you Sensi Master!
The lifters are the 'hat' lookin' things over the valve springs in the line drawing Bryan. The rockers act directly on the lifter bottom.
Hey, yea, how does one of those little buggers come loose? I would have thought that they would have been "loc-tighted' in upon assembly??? This chit makes me wanna take my stuff apart again and check all those little screws....my luck I'd loose one of them & they would punch a hole thru the chamber to a water jacket.
Okay another dumb Q from the weed eater
.....Is it possible to fix, by welding, any damage to the chamber and then clean up the weld so the chamber configuration is close to original condition or is the head "junk"? I mean is ain't like we can call Dart or anyone else and get a new head? We can still buy new sleeves, right???
Bill, if I was filthy rich...... I'd come out there but not to work on the car. I'd do one of those pranks like on overhauling....steal it & have the car sent to be "overhauled" by a dream team of ZR-1 specialists.....unfortunately, I'm just filthy. I just finished boiler maintenance, #6 fuel fired! My collar isn't even blue, it's black!
Good luck with this, Bill.
