Amen to that Tim.
Thanks Folks.
Not just this thread, but for all the info in the archives.
This things gonna crank soon. After sitting in mineral spirits all night I blew all the diluted oil out of the lifters this morning. Put them back in the mineral spirits again and will blow them out again this evening before Church. Then I'll swap to some fresh mineral spirits (this is kinda oily)and repeat the process over and over until I can get a chance to put it back together again.
