Last cycle says 600 degrees, honestly not even sure my oven goes that high so I'm gonna risk not doing the third baking.

A self cleaning cycle goes about that high - but even I wouldn't do it for several reasons. It will finish curing in use.

Yes a piece of glass sheet is perfect to roll it on. If you only need one 2F pushrod I'm pretty sure someone on Mud can help you out.

ugh
stop reading my mind

glass is a good idea for rolling them....

could make some cookies too

lolz

Ah damn all you seasoned owners. It's bent.

~dances around the bent pushrod~

check the others.......

 

[Prairie Swamp]

Good news is you found it. Even gooder news - no way that cylinder was ever going to perform correctly with a bent pushrod. So look at it as a win.

Took a min or two for the brunette to overstep the blond... rolled them on the corner of the glass. All appear even except that number 4.

In Japan, four (四) can be read as "yon" (よん) or "shi" (し). The kanji for death is "shi" (死), which is why the number four is considered unlucky

Sorry, I had to......

If you call up classic cruisers, they should be able to get you a good used one.

Cheap push rod inspection.

The shop that rebuilt the 3FE going into my FJ60 is rebuilding a couple of 2Fs for Classic Cruisers every month, so I'm sure they'll have what you need.

So here she is in all her glory! I tell you I basically stared at it for an hour once I got it in the garage.
$324, basic valve job and head resurfaced. He primed it and replaced the ugly air line plugs as well. The spark plug holes look freshened too. Everything looks amazing.
I added painters tape to all the bare cast surfaces since I will add an enamel but I also might not get to it for a few days since my son is back w/ me now. I'll see about doing the galley plug as I picked up all the supplies the other day too.

 

[NeverGiveUpYota]

The new valves look amazing too Jason @reevesci, thank you!!

Taped up.
