I have a 261 6 cyl. I think it is out of a 1958 chevy truck and I put it in a 1954 3/4 ton chevy I bought the engine from an inliner in Fort Worth, I have 15 miles on the engine and bent a push rod, the push rod is 11 1/4 inches with solid lifers, there is a crane cam in the motor and the valves are both set at 20 thousands, I replaced the push rod and insured the valves were all working, I drove 3 miles and bent another push rod, the engine sat previously for 2 years I would guess, but it ran fine for 15 miles I have 50 lbs of oil pressure and no valve chatter and the timing is good.
any suggestions on the issue?
