[email protected] Posted September 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2013 Turned out I mentioned the wrong stuff earlier. The engine was built poorly originally, there are a few issues with it. A few of the solid rockers are seized up, some will move and catch and a couple will not move at all, so they are most of the issue. My mechanic wants me to source a set of full roller rockers and a new set of roller lifters, I also need a gasket kit. If anyone has suggestions on the best I can get please let me know, I don't want to skimp at all on replacement parts. It does have a nice set of hardened pushrods at least. The pistons will come out Monday to be checked, hopefully there is nothing messed up farther down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[email protected] Posted September 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 No luck from him, I called Harland Sharp and theirs are backordered 3-4 weeks. It looks like I am going to go with Comp for both parts since they are available. Surprisingly Autozone is cheaper than Summit, Jegs, and eBay for both after a coupon. Any opinions on something different I should get that won't break me too much, I'd love to do Jesel or something of that caliber but I don't have that kind of extra cash after all the labor this is going to cost and both of these offer lifetime warranties. http://www.autozone.com/autozone/parts/_/N-8zotd?itemIdentifier=250910_722434_0_ http://www.autozone.com/autozone/parts/_/N-8zoqc?itemIdentifier=86589_504599_0_ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[email protected] Posted September 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 (edited) Got a chance to get some pictures today, any help identifying parts would be great, I want to have a full record of what is in there before it goes back together. I know so far the heads are L92 based on the casting number. My failed rocker arms, most are seized up to some degree. The covers are ABEAR I believe. L92 West Coast Racing Heads Pistons will be coming out tomorrow. Pushrods, 7.400 4307, hardened chromoly I think, Other side of the heads. Last side of the heads.

[email protected] Posted September 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 Is that truion upgrade something I can salvage out of them and reuse or are they complete junk at this point? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
