    Completed the lifter replacement saturday evening, and found a pin hole in the bottom of the radiator :/
    I didn't touch that!
    I guess it's better here, then overheating in the woods of Uhwarrie this week...
    Replaced the radiator with the thicker core V8 model.

    Tearing down the Driver-side head - hung a lifter. Ugh. Of course, just before the Uhwarrie trip... :/

    Sorry, forgot to update - had to work, pack up, and leave in 3 days, whew.
    All went well with the lifter(s) replacement.
    Crazy thing was after the radiator replacement, thing overheated repeatedly during the entire trip.
    Ended up it was the radiator cap :/
    Would not hold more than 5 psi. And it looked to be of the finest Chinesium !?
    Changed it on a whim on the way home. Perfect.
    Oh well.

My worst fear is that when I die my wife will sell my stuff for what I told her I paid for it.
