Re: Evaluating 305E engine noise
What happened is that when i pulled out several pushrods to make sure no additional ones were bent, oil suction (I guess?) caused a couple of the lifters to pop out of the block. The pushrod hole in the head is just large enough to let the lifter tip out of alignment with the lifter hole in the block. I found I could just reach the top of the lifter with my finger and wiggle it around until it felt centered, and then tap it into place. The last one required more effort; I think because it was compressing air inside the block, with a piston-like effect, however small. I'm hoping that solves the problem; thanks for the counsel! Before the week is out I hope to fire it up.
