I just bought a 58-62 235 with hydraulic lifters. It ran when pulled, but has been sitting for a few years I started going through and changing a few gaskets on it. When I pulled the pushrod cover, I noticed 3 U shaped clips just sitting in there.
What would have caused the lifters to top out and push the clips out? Hopefully this is minor, but before I try to fire it up I'd certainly like to know.
Thanks
