First, I can't post pics because Sunday night a tree fell across the road from all the heavy rain. In the process of trying to move it so we could get up to our house the part I was pulling on broke and I fell into the ditch full of about three feet of water. My phone was in back my pocket. Not only did it get soaked but I smashed the heck out of it.
So anyway, back to the point. One day last week I was continuing my shake down running of the 67. Some of you may have already seen the post. Well, It didn't like sitting in traffic. The trans got hot again and so did the engine but with the stock temp gauge I couldn't tell how hot actually. But anyway it started running funny. I figured it was from the fuel boiling the carb or some other issue like that but it never settled down. I check the plugs and pulled the carb off and all checked it. Started checking ignition too. Well I didn't find anything. I did notice the valves sounded a little clatter like. I hadn't rechecked the valve lash since the cam swap so I thought I would do that and tighten them up. Well I found a couple rocker arms that were not centered and one looks like it is toast. They are Comp Cams Magnum roller rockers. I think they are all junk but at least one was pretty bad.
I can't win!!!
