#49 Dont ask me how but this one has got to be the coolest bent pushrod ever. Its bent in like a circular shape, You'll have to see it, Ill bring it to sonic, hopefully with the Z28:D Im actually kinda relieved that its only a pushrod.

The polylock came loose and the bolt backed off. I know I need hardened ones but Mark is using stockers in his. I have a few extras laying around so I should have her up and running in a lil while.

They guys up at CMotorsports already have me a few new springs heading my way. I just hope it didnt screw anything else up. If it did, Im bringing the 442 down next weekend and drive it around til I get this one fixed.

Yea, I have a 1970 Oldsmobile 442 at home in Atlanta. My dad drives it around on the weekend but it was my first car, Im lucky Im still alive:lol: It used to be a whole lot nastier but I quit driving it after I got the Camaro and everything went downhill and now it needs a good bit of work but it works better than the Z28.

thats tight as crap one of my good friends has one sitten in his garage. his dad bought it brand new and the never got rid of it its pretty bad ass :headbang:

I wont have it in time but hopefully I dont have to bring it down here. In its current state, it might be good for a 14 flat. Im pretty much fed up with my car, well, all cars for that matter. I just cant stand that something that I have poured my fucking soul into shits on me time and time again. Fuck that yellow box of parts.

11-05-2003, 07:14 AM

Sorry Bo. ROFL at that last statement.

Just screw the LT1 and get a ZZ572 and wedge it down in the bitch... = ). If it doesn't fit just buy a truck :headbang:

I know of a certain college student with a Big Ass blue vehicle who is also pissed at his car (or truck as the case may be) that would LOVE to take that "yellow box of parts" off your hands. He'll even tow it away for free! You wont have to pay me... I mean him a dime!

How the fuck does a poly lock come loose. When I do mine I really crank down on those fuckers. Just make sure you use a 5/8" backer wrench on the rocker arm bolt so that you don't end up tightening the rocker arm and fucking up your valve lash.

11-05-2003, 11:58 AM

I crank down on the allen wrench, then give the 5/8" wrench a slight turn to really lock it down hard.
