All the
oil gally holes were drilled and tapped for plugs and I'm running adjustable rocker arms just in case I decide to switch to solid cam someday.
Oh, and about the Mercury valve covers... the adjusters on my rocker arms were hitting the breather baffles, so I can't use those valve covers now. Sucks, because I really wanted to use them. Borrowed my buddy's taller valve covers off his Tunnel Port, and used them to break the engine in. Oh, and I should mention this engine is going in my '70 Cougar, hence the desire to use the Mercury valve covers. I'm trying to chase down some aluminum valve covers with Cougar scripting on them, I've seen them in old Super Ford magazines. If anyone knows where I can find a set, let me know.
