In many ways it's the most fun part of it.

In my case it was mission creep.

Needed a throw out bearing.  Pulled engine.

Thought maybe a new clutch.

Then,  valve guides would be a good idea since there is no more lead. Screw=
 in studs are a great way to strengthen the top end.

At work a good friend wiped a cam on a 69 Camaro, so I thought a roller wou=
ld be good.


Gee that f4b on eBay looks nice.....

I'm sure my story is unique....
