Rocker Arm PickleI am in a bit of a pickle with rocker arm reassembly on my 65 CA77. When putting the pins back in I found there are two different sizes (and that I had accidentally gotten two mixed up). I am now concerned that I may have swapped the rocker arms too (since I packed these parts as sets). Are the rock...
Ring part #'s and Cylinder Honing?Does anyone out there know the correct part number for 1965 CA77 piston rings standard size?

Engine Case Gasket SealerWhat kind/brand of gasket sealer should be used to seal the case halves together. The guy at the autoparts store said I need a special variety for mating surfaces without a groove and that they did not carry it.

I have no idea why this is so stuck. I even tried heating it with a torch and still nothing. I was planning o...
Camshaft still stuck and intake valve bentI was able to remove the valves with a tool that I made using the designs you posted from an 8" C-clamp and a piece of 1" diameter PVC pipe. One of the intake valve was seemingly stuck and I managed to bend it just slightly when removing it. It still slid out but not really smoothly so I will defini...
