    Ditto on the ''NO''. Rocker arm won't line up right either.

    Heat it up to 1200 degrees, fill it with bronze, slow cool over 24 hours, and try again.

    lol.......long story..............well i had the engine reconditioned by the owner b4 i bought it, he put a mild cam in it but not new lifters. So after realizing my car was missing lots of power i finally popped the valve covers to see if the rockers were tight. One was all loose and a few others werent too tight. So i tightened them up, and made some carb adjustments. Soon after the problems got worse and worse. Anyways to make a long story short i pulled the intake mani and noticed my lifter on the other side of the engine and a head stud pulling out. I cut it and began drilling a hole. but it went the wrong direction-lol. Its cool tho im gettin a remanufactured head for 150
