I want to get my 67 200 running better until I do the engine swap. I think thats still 2-3 months down the road.
I suspect a bad lifter or wiped cam lobe on #2 intake. When I pull the pushrod and look down the hole, I see something metal that doesnt belong there, but I cant tell what it is.
This engine has adjustable rockers. I couldnt adjust #2 intake, the adjusting nut bottomed out and the pushrod was still loose. All 11 other valves adjusted ok.
I pulled everything off last night that needs to come off before pulling the head and put #1 at TDC on the compression stroke.
If I need to pull the cam, can I do it with the engine in place?
If I cant, Im going to pull the engine and leave it out. That will give me plenty of time to repaint, rewire and do everything else I want to do under the hood.
