The Ford Barn - View Single Post - No. 7 Cyl never gives evidence of a power stroke on '46 Flathead

I usually do my own rebuilds but am trapped with running my business these days ... no time for fun stuff like rebuilds. Regarding selecting a rebuild place, I made an assumption that anyone working at an engine shop would have the experience allowing him to know that you must adjust this type of lifter so as to achieve the proper clearances. It amazed me that the shop owner didn't know that this worker was ignorant about adjustments. This is first level stuff in my view. Oh well. I enjoyed the process of troubleshooting the problem from the beginning. Understandable somewhat. On occasion one of my workers will do something that makes me think ... What was going on in this person's mind?. Well... let's admit that not everybody is as smart as us Ford Barn guys.
