Machine shop Idiots

[KillerKittyCat]

Pulled the head on the pony.
I had the heads redone just a short time ago because I screwed up on trying to change the cam. The book said two turns which I did and I lost the keeper on #2 intake and bent the valve.
Make a long story short, they put the wrong valve in. Would not seal.

All you people with 289's. June of 1965 the heads were changed. They were non rail rockers with the guides machined into the head,

bummr !

sorry to hear about that.......
the old rule, always check what the machine shop does before installing anything.
I put a vacume plate over my valves after the re-grind/head rebuild, just to make sure they were all sealing properly.
(I borrowed it from and engine rebuilding shop, too expensive to buy for 1 use)
Hope you get it running Ok
