Thanks. > Now that you have the valve cover off, take off the other one, then the carburetor, pull the distributor, and then the manifold and start cleaning out the valley. It will be a troublesome job and you need to keep the crap from going down into the crankcase, use a shop vacuum allot. Remove the push rods and clean them out on the inside. Clean out the return holes in the heads and then put it back into running form and start her up. Wouldn't hurt to flush down the heads/tappets with thin oil just before you shut it down and then drain the oil. Depending on how much buildup is in the valley you may get real lucky and remove just the push rods, you can count the turns and back off the rocker nut, remove the push rod, clean it, replace with the same number of turns on the nut. The down side to this is if there is a build up on the lifter you can knock it loose and into the lifter and bind it up. You can still get that if you take it all apart, just use some caution either way and don't forget the return holes in the heads. |
