Re: bbc retrofit roller update
Had to lean the grill out about an inch and a half to get the cam out!
Before that, I discovered that a PO had tapped out one of the front main pulley bolts to 7/16 ( the next larger size ). That ended up costing me about 100 bucks because I had to modify the puller I borrowed from AutoZone ( 30 bucks ) and purchase a new balancer ( 70 bucks ) because there's just no way I'm putting the F'd up one back on there!
The front cam bearing looks a bit worn but I'm going to assemble the top end back together without replacing the bearings and hope for the best! If I have problems, guess I'll have to pull the block out and freshen it as well then.
