Here’s part one of waking up the motor. Here we hangout and investigate. Get some oil down the cylinders, and review the 1.54 rockers. Note video says 1.53 as a typo. 👍
Those rocker arm assemblies looked to be very clean and "wet" enough to believe that things are oiling good up top. You are wise to test that out. Ford's biggest mistake was that double 90 degree jog for the oil feed where the heads meet the block's deck surface. It was very easy back in the day for sludge to settle in there and things to get blocked up. Not only did it cause problems with sludge, my belief is that it decreased oil pressure up top a bit as well.
@@CalicoClassics for a performance build I certainly recommend “pressurizing” the shafts. I have a video on my channel that shows how to get that done; really easy to do.
Lots of good analyzing here - seems like you have to do quite a bit of investigation. At least the distributor is good with both vacuum and mechanical advance so you're good to match with that carb. There are companies like CRT and TSP that make those distributors that include a mechanical tach drive - don't know if your customer would be interested in that or not.
bringin em back to life!!! a lot of good info to pass down.
Thanks man, I appreciate it.⭐️

Very good Reverend. What are your thoughts on the crimp of the bypass rocker tube to restrict flow out to raise pressure on the rockers?

@@HotRodReverend yes I’m very familiar. Just getting your thoughts. That’s cool I will definitely have to check out your video.

Thanks for watching Pat!
I would love to watch more but the wiggling camera is giving me a headache please set it down
Thanks for trying to watch. Duly noted. Thank you for the feedback.
Part two is filmed, but the compression check and etc. afterwards I will be sure to not have any wiggling of the camera. Thanks again.
