Hey everyone. I remember many arguments on the forum over whether 144s ever got hydraulic lifters. I can finally happily say at least some 64s did. I removed my valve cover abut after running the engine and sure enough I was able to “collapse” the lifter and make the pushrod loose to the rocker.
Now for my questions.
1. Is a generator ok for stock charging applications I’ve noticed when idling the headlights are quite noticeably dimmer and brighten a lot when I rev engine up
2. A noticeable amount of blow by out of oil filler cap but compression is good so I’ll assume it’s alright
3 tranny grinds a bit from 1st to 2nd. Seems like a shifter issue as if I’m very careful and take time to make sure the shifter slides forward towards the dash and then try to shit it doesn’t happen. I think shifter needs lubricant but even when I do that it takes 3 seconds of pushing on 2nd gear for it to finally slip into gear.
Thanks everyone I just wanna get that fixed so I can take it out on my birthday tomorrow but wanted to know if I needed parts for my birthday not other stuff
