Been checking ebay and the rest of the internet for the Ford tool to install lifters. Has anyone seen one for sale or one to rent. I bought a 292 from a local guy that was complete. He had someone else put the machine shop bore it .040 over and flattop pistons he said.
Does not know if the crank was turned and how much if it was. A new cam from summit, does not remember what cam. The heads were done, does not remember what all they did.
It has the ECZ-G heads, which because of the price was why the engine is in my garage now.
I have to take the pan off anyway because it has a truck pan and I need to put on a front sump pan for my 56 Fairlane, which btw I need a tube and sump for a car pan.
I will see then what the main and rod bearings are.
I will pull the heads and see how much the pistons are down. Then i will have to pull the cam out and hpoefully find some numbers on the end of it to tell me what it is.
I have to pull the cam because when he told me it had a new cam and I had also ask him if he got the lifter with the cam he told me they used the old lifters.
But the price was so good That the heads are worth it to me by theirselves.
So that is the ling of it why I need to look for a lifter tool.
