Well that escalated quickly

[68 HEMI GTS]

I put a longer throttle cable on the other day so I could try a taller carb spacer. Thought I had a bracket I could modify for the cable, in doing some fitting up, I pulled the threads in the rear drivers head. Awesome, helicoil job on the car.. sometimes simple **** isn't so simple

Pulled some parts off

Lots of protection

Vacuum too, better safe than sorry

Lots of grease!!

May as well check the lifters while it's this far apart. Look good, they are all spinning. I do see some signs of wear though. Guess a roller cam of sorts is in my future.

And back together with that pesky 2" spacer. Simple enough, eh? Sigh..

Some wear? That lifter already has a hole worn through the bottom. Must leak oil pressure. How was the cam lobe?

I think the problem started with that drivers side fender cover LOL. Some days it just doesn't pay to start anything.

I believe the hole is by design.

Really, looks like a lot of lost material, learn everyday, I never heard of that

I suppose it's to introduce oil right to the lobe. Racing stuff...
