Yes have done many of the GM hydraulic lifter adjustments (zero lash), first time was on a 61 Corvair with a 64 engine. Unfortunately that car met it's death in a head on collision on the DC beltway. Before that it was a great car, fun to drive. But that was a while ago... (everyone survived the crash!)

SAGA : joat . I knew a LOT of machinists in the "Ottawa Valley" Ont Kanada. , SO ? what company did your Dad work for ?

One of the funniest flying tales of my life ? came right from that valley .. Carp Airport I was to fly a Russ Bradley plane , when I got there in the morning .A young kid "Gass boy" was making it ready. . Russ says to me the engine has just been Majored and you will be the
First. . BUT ? Russ has to do a test flight and sign it out...More cups of coffee. , Then he comes back dead stick. .The prop fell off .

Then the Wife of the chief pilot shows up (big station wagon) to take him home for lunch..As they drive down the road , He yell's STOP back up Sure as heck there was the Prop in the ditch. . They took it back to the Airport . And I flew it all that afternoon..

Imagine EH ? prop falling from 1000 feet and still be OK ? ,.
