    Charged all the lifters using my special tool
    91042086-5324-4510-9A33-960E32F862BD.jpg
    my issues were sloppy lifters not actuating valves as well as they should
    and the biggie a second hand electronic dizzy someone gifted me that wasn’t firing on four out of six even with a new module.
    So back to old school points at least everything is visible and adjustable.

    Cheers Paul

    while waiting for Postman Pat with new brass Welch plugs I’ve got consider wether I pull more off to get at the others.

    They looked great from the outside🤣

    A bit of work but I’m glad I did it with what I found, decided to leave the head plugs alone they will easier to get to with head off which I don’t want to do
    I also have a stripped sump plug hole to deal with I’ve ordered a 13mm tap and plug replacement kit never tried these before but will be easier I hope than swapping sumps.
    The joys of old engines.

    Cheers Paul

    Are you replacing the ones behind the exhaust manifold gasket. From my experience they are the 1st to leak.

    Bit of an update this engine continues to fight me, after replacing welsh plugs and running the engine for awhile the rear main started leaking🤬

    So out with the engine I removed the head to make everything more stable on the bench to work on the crank seal.It will also give me the opportunity to swap sumps to fix stripped oil drain plug.with the head of I noticed I had used a 3.3 gasket instead of a 202 which blocked some water holes on the manifold side.

    One win I suppose is the seal is neoprene that should make fitting easier.

    Rightly or wrongly it seemed to me the crank would be easier to refit with the the pistons out.

    Holden pistons I have always fitted from the top with the crank in. With your leaking rear main, I would be checking the diameter of the crank at the seal surface & internal diameter of the seal it may have been machined at some stage. Holdens have always had rear main problems, I remember the ner HQ I bought had the rear main seal done 6 times undr warranty.

    It’s Finished😄😄🍺🥃.

    822D297E-6F95-4383-8739-83A58F78E96C.jpg Bit of scratched paint from all the ins and outs but who cares.
    no fluid leaks and starts easily with no choke.
    I’ll run it for a week or so then do a tune but it seems pretty good as it is.
    Now I’ve got to investigate oil leak on inside of drivers side rear rim, something I noticed while under the vehicle, think I’ll check axle breather first.

    Cheers Paul
