Just curious why you would use this boat ancor when there are lots of other choices


It's cheap an durable and my m22 that I have stowed away is worn with a stripped first gear. Plus I'm saving it for a more worthy vehicle.

Just wondering , Shouldn't you have the rocker arms installed and take your dial indacater reading from the retainer on the intake valve?
I never seen anyone just take your reading from a lose pushrod just sitting on the lifter. Maybe something new.......


I take two measurements first off the lifter then off the valve. I tried this way just cause I got lazy and didn't want to set up a whole bunch of times. Being just a 305 it's not anything special for me to be super precise on.





What grade are you in now SID?
I'm in 9th grade taking welding certs
