Foxy Green Foxbody Build

[89 Fox 427]

I sucked my lifters off

Err....

Whatever

 

[89 Fox 427]

Well well well..

I have a lifter.

One lifter.

That doesn't fit into any hole in the block.

How convenient.

 

[89 Fox 427]

Johnson lifter doesn't fit

More of the usual. Brand new. Doesn't fit in any hole. No issues with the others.

Unbelievable. But I am not surprised.

So it’s been a few years.. one question, is this green snot rocket driving yet? Yeah or nah

Does it measure big or just have a burr on the machined edge somewhere?

25 miles and 2 different engines.

2nd engine is apart and it's obviously not going well. Again.

No equipment accurate enough. I'd guess egg shaped from where the pin is pushed in

Check this out.
It appears to be real, and that's a stupid level of precision.
For 47 bucks I ordered one just to see what it's like.

Well my pushrod calculation/ assumption was way off.

Old pushrods 7.750"

New ones I need are 7.600"

Combination of cup height and short travel, less preload I would guess.

I measured 3 times and got the same number

 

[Mixed up]

Well that sucks on the lifter do you need a 0 to 1 micrometer i might help you out in that

@Patriot Racer I thought about chicken liver but even chat says that's a bad idea. If she has copper storage disease organ meats are out

"Copper storage disease " Known as Wilson's disease in humans (maybe in animals too ,I dont know) is what lead to the death/killed my sister at age 36

Shit man what happened? I remember the first engine had some issues.

 

[DruNkNsLoW]

lash caps?

You can visit the rumble channel and watch.. but presumably a lifter tick turned into half a tear down and now this cluster fuck

That sucks man, you in the process of rebuilding it or you shelling it for a bit?

I'm bleeding money into it as usual.

Waiting on new pushrods. And I just sent the shit lifter back to the guy so he can measure and send the shit lifter back to his guy so he can send the shit lifter back to Johnson so they can tell me there's nothing wrong with it

That works OK if you do like he does, and don't wipe them off after polishing.
This leaves the "lapping compound" in the small end, which serves to remove any imperfections left from the tool.
