Re: Adjustable Lifters
My hollow adjustables have been fine but I got them from a reputable supplier. It’s interesting that the v8 stock lifters are not adjustable, the 226 straight 6 are adjustable.

Re: Ultra Sonic Cleaner
I have had good results with a 50/50 mix of water and pinesol. Added benefit of a clean smelling basement ��

The pan flange, the stud ring, and the clean out plate are all prone to deformation due to over tightening of the plate nuts to cure leaks. Even with new gaskets, if those surfaces are deformed, you...
