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....
