Thanks, I think he was hoping it was no big deal, but this is a no excuse car, so apart it'll come. Appreciate the quick response and especially the pics and explanation.

It will have no oil pressure from the lifter to the rockers. Been there.

Been in that same boat before...put it all together, and was priming the oil system, but one side never would take...got the specs for the groove, and Mo ended up putting the cam on a lathe...

I did it with a hand held grinder worked fine. I was 20 at the time. You never forget mistakes.

He started taking it back apart yesterday. Sad after being down to a body and rolling chassis for 2 years and all that was left was the seats and door panels.

Good advice, though. Thanks again.
