It's a lawn ornament until we tear the engine apart saturday. The guy I bought it from said it had a noisy valve. It did. I took the valve cover off and practically all the rockers were loose and one was sitting almost sideways. As I was moving it around the push rod fell into the motor. So I guess I better see where it went and why. :rolleyes2: Anyway, she will be up and running soon. Just wanted to let you guys see her. I'll keep you posted (no pun intended).

Well it was the rare 72 Clear Elky, they're completely invisible to the naked eye, & cameras, so they were hard to advertise, or so i hear :poke:
