Hello,
I just got a 61 two door Falcon wagon. All in all it is in good shape. I have been into cars since I was young but this is MY first one that I am doing all the work on. I dont know much so I could use a little help. She was knocking pretty bad so I took the valve cover off and noticed that no oil was really get up in it. So I took the rocker arm off, cleaned everything and blew out the holes with air. When I went to put it back together and gauge the valves, I found that two of the nuts on the bolts that rock the push rods (sorry I dont know what to call it),, were a different size then the rest and will not tighten down. So I guess I have two questions..(if any of this makes sence) One, can I just replace the nuts or do I need to find the whole bolt as well? They look pretty solid. Two, once back together, I still was not getting enough oil up. I had it coming through three of six holes. The oil pressure is good, it is just still not coming through like it should still. Any thoughts? Sorry if this is stupid, like I said I am learning. Thanks!
