Sooooo... Being the owner of the Cruiser discussed and displayed in this thread (and the companion thread "an ethical dilemma?"), I have a strong desire to talk with an attorney in the Benton, Washington area familiar with Lemon laws, civil fraud, etc. Jim Chenoweth has done a fabulous job of restoring the engine that the seller assured me had already been done--and there is much more to be done, all involving things on the vehicle I was assured, in writing, had been done at the time of my purchase. My purchase was to have been of a fully restored Cruiser--clearly it was not.
Being in Ohio, I am not acquainted with attorneys in Washington state qualified to pursue a civil case involving such blatant misrepresentation--as I'd like money back so Jim C can continue restoring this rig the right way. Contrary to the seller's suggestion that Jim C should just work for free, I believe a decent, honest, hard-working janitor like Jim deserves to get paid for his work, as he says, "cleaning up other people's sh*t". Any and all suggestions/ recommendations welcome.
New lifters replace the worn originals. Here's a pic before dropping the last one in the hole, showing moly grease on the business end.

notice how none of the other lifters have any grease on their tops? He also stated this was the last one...I'm guessin- just a wild shot in the dark, that he's got it inverted to show us the schmeg of moly "on the business end" that will be against the cam lobe when he's done- after the camera was put down;p
