PM sent already. Save it to your hard drive because it won't be there forever.

Thanks man got a question for ya do u recommend using assembly lube putting this back together or just some good lube like white lithium grease or something

1989Marathon

Use a dab of grease to hold the tappets in while installing the cam. If you put it on the back side of the tappet face, it will stay in the bore.
Use 10w-30 on everything else. Put it on all rotating surfaces, especially the crank seals. Use blue loc-tite on the connecting rod bolts and the rocker studs.

Ok man sounds good....i was looking at the heads after putting the rev kit on and wondering on the exhaust porrs on both heads look like there is a restriction like a sleeve in the port......is that suppose to be there or can i take it out for better flow out the port

1989Marathon

Take it out. They come out easy with needle-nose pliers.

And why do you keep calling me "Man". That sounds so impersonal. We are a family here, as dysfunctional as we may be.
