Just did the same thing to my 65 B. You need to ream the new bushings =
to fit the rod. You also need to remove the rivet swedged into the fron =
of the rocker arm to get a drill into the bushing for one of the two oil =
holes. The second oil hole can be drilled more easily. Not bad all =
things considered

Hello all,=20
My motor comes back from the shop this week (fast road cam, .40=20
over, I can hardly wait!) and I am trying to replace the lifter arm=20
thingy and the lifter bearings. The replacement bearings won't fit onto =
the rod after they are placed in the lifters. Is this something that=20
must be reamed out inorder to fit 6or am I doing something wrong? =20
Also, the replace6ment bearings are missing a hole that the original=20
had. The hole matches one 4on the lifter. Does this also have to be =
added?
Again, something for the machine shop?
Thanks in advance.
