All Small Six Back in the Saddle

This relates to all small sixes
5-10 minutes with the mini belt sander and she slides right in. I cut away from the cylinder and water passage and just rotate the lifter once she is down in there.

However, there is some casting flash in the way, preventing me from linking up. I have to go coach baseball for a bunch of 8 year old. Will tackle it with a long reach carbide later tonight.

She does drop all the way in and fully seat. I'm just holding it in place with my finger for the pic.

Well, I got them in there and connected! I haven't tried the other end but it looks like it will be pretty much the same adventure. Just took a minute with the die grinder on the casting flash. Need to remove more for actually running the engine but it's good enough for a fit check!

Now I'm just waiting to figure out what it is I am not understanding. This was too easy so I must be missing something...
Next try installing the camshaft with the lifter in place and see if the tie bar has enough vertical clearance.
