I haven't!! I've been on the road for over three weeks and just got home this evening.
Sorry I wasn't able to make it over to see tlowe, but my inline four cylinder HONDA let me down and I lost a whole day buying another vehicle!!
Beater!! I'd use that copper gasket to jig everything up and go ahead and figure piston to valve clearance and maybe even pattern the piston tops!!
Juice!! I'm going to use a hydraulic flat tappet cam for the time being! Vigilance and tenacity will make a roller eventually come to hand. Again, in the mean time I'll be recovering from the trip and diverting some of my "rat rod/four banger" money toward a damned car note, something I haven't had in several years!!!
I figure to be physically recovered by the middle of next week. We drove a total of 8,900+ miles and covered 21 states!! My bucket list is a little shorter and my wallet a lot lighter right now!!
