<VV> More about the valves

[K. Michael Kost]

Byron,

Are the studs unscrewing from the block or possibly pulling out of the block? If 
this is the case you need a case stud solution using some kind of insert.

So, after about two weeks of waiting, the mechanic called this morning to 
confirm if we'd replaced the hydraulic lifters when we did the rebuild, and we 
didn't. He's been playing with it off and on, with the following results: the 
double nuts kept that part of the stud from "walking," but they were still 
"walking" out of the block. He removed them, reinserted with 'locktite,' and 
tried again. It would run just fine, but next day, they were loose again, just 
like they appeared to be doing for me. He'd tighten them, but then the valves 
would stick. So his evaluation is that the lifters aren't staying pumped up and 
need to be replaced.
