I know I wrote that I bought the 69 Roadrunner and the engine and trans was just rebuilt.
Well I heard lifter noise so I had the valve covers pulled and pulled the lifter that sounded bad (383). Then I pulled a good lifter. Well the bad lifter is about 1/16 or more shorter and concaved. The cam has got to be flat on that lobe also.
I bought this car because it was advertised as an engine with less then 200 miles with a rebuilt trans. Now i'm pulling the engine back down. This is not good news.
Well maybe now I'll make the color change.
Thanks for reading,
Barry
