A 318 Poly!! Been a long time since I saw one of those. “Froze lifters”?? AFAIK, they were all solid lifter designs.

The 5/16” adjusters on the arms are known to back out when worn. The remedy used to be to rap the outside of the arm with a dead blow hammer to close-up the threaded hole and restore the grip of the imperfect threads.

That truck is purdy!!

So the oil galleys running through the lifter bores got packed full of nasty gunk and then sat that way for 20 something years. Lifters for the rear right cylinder (4 or 8?) and second from rear on the left (3 or 5?) sat on the peak of the cam lobe during that time and corroded enough to the top of the lifter bores that the spring pressure could not overcome enough to push them down as the engine rotated.
We got the engine pulled and the intake, heads, clutch/flywheel/bellhousing removed. The bellhousing is similar to an LC with a face that seats against the back of the block behind the flywheel, requiring the clutch and flywheel be removed before it can be removed.

And the valves (at max lift) didn’t connect with the pistons?

Lucky!
 
Impressively straight old Power Wagon. Don't let it be the "squirrel" that delays your Pig build.
 
Yeah, probably not ready, but embrace it all the same. For me, the boys were much easier than the girls. Something about watching your daughter drive off all by herself (while forgetting to release the emergency brake and dragging the rear wheels) makes you feel a bit helpless and concerned.
 
My wife told me from the beginning that we wanted to have a boy.

And the wife always let's me know when I have adjusted the parking brake on her 470 successfully, "I can't drive w/ the parking brake on anymore!"
 
Son had eventful weekend, came home from school in Gunnison with his Girlfriend of 10 months. Since her parents were gone they stayed with us all weekend. On way out of town they go to house to feed her cat and she breaks up with him. Little shell shocked he stays another night and leaves yesterday morning in my 2003 F350 since his Tacoma acting up. Hits deer south of Bueno Vista so new hood, grill and light in order now.

So the son has flipped his 2001 Tacoma, destroying it when he was 16, backed into light pole at firework stand in my nice GMC 2500 and now scarred my 2003 ford. Only thing that matters is no one hurt. I know he was already bummed so all I said "it's only metal" and move on.
 
After no less then 60-70 hours of studying for my family medicine boards, I hopefully put them behind me yesterday. 300 questions over anything they want to put in there and damn it was hard, This studying crap after 20 years practicing for a tired 52 year old sucks, I am definitely not a scholar any longer and look forward to reading the comic sin the paper as my only reading.

Hopefully in 7 days I will have the notification that i passed, never again will I have to take it again. The Sow has suffered some neglect over the last month as I prepared but today I get back on track!!
