my '66 Chevelle PT Challenge...

[Pt109]

Just a quick update. I have been extremely frustrated the past few weeks with ordering parts and expecting certain things to be included, then open the box's and find I need another item. Well with 3-5 days for shipping it really drags things out. Then I was doing a cam swap and that went ok but installing the new springs, I noticed air leaking, what I thougt was inside of the engine most likely past the rings. Well then I discovered that air is leaking out of the exhaust valves. No push rods or rockers installed yet and it appears to be the same amount on each cylinder so cannot figure that out. Now trying to find someone that can give me an explaination for that. I really dont want to tear into this engine like that...
I did go to a meeting for the closest auto cross events and had a good time. Seems like a bunch of fun people. Now to just get the car moving along faster. So that is about all for now.
