Today was torque-the-heads and adjust-the-valves day . Well , until I
figured out the NOS TRW VL-37 tappets I have are probably not going to
work . Right part , but it appears they have been on the shelf too long
.. Several had stuck plungers , one I couldn't get full range of travel .
Screw that , my new set of EngineTech L817 tappets should be here by
Tuesday . I've got too much money and time in this project to take a
chance . This is very likely the last time I'll get to do a project of
this nature and scope . Gonna do it right .
