Thanks everybody for advice. 1.

1. It never occurred to me that the rocker arm shafts had holes in them that should be lined up with holes in the mounts I will look at that.
2. I see the top of the oil filter housing has a small metal line (Probably about 1/3 the diameter of a air pressure nozzle on a tire) that works its way up into the dashboard. I am guessing it's the oil temperature sensor maybe? That's where I guess I will install an oil pressure gauge. (I certainly have a new and improved appreciation for mechanics because the small confines they have to work in is baffling.) But first I want to look into the rocker arm shaft suggestion.

I hope I am not causing anybody frustration do to Ignorance but a big part of the reason I am doing this myself is an exercise raising my mechanical IQ. And I do appreciate everybody's input.
