Thanks Tony. I may get it balanced just to be safe, since the engine is still out of the car.

Thanks John, my machine shop put new camshaft bearings in at no charge, because they accidently damaged one of the old ones, but the old cam bearings looked fine. In fact, the old crank and rod bearings looked fine too, but I went ahead and replaced them just to be safe. I had the ends of the rocker-arms ground at the same time I got the machine work done. I'm using a set of rocker shafts & arms from a 1960 235.

The oil passage from the rocker feed downward--how is the best way to check that?
