Phil:
Just read your post about adjustable lifters. I have a ford v8-60 in a midget race car,turns very high rpm,s After adjusting all the valves I put a drop of Red LOCTITE on the adjusting screws.
kracerjack 1951, is right on. slow it down and cool it down. I run v8-60 in race car ran 240 all the time until I learned how to slow the flow of water down. on hot days never runs over 190 think about what kracerjack said
I am lucky to live in Santa Rosa, meet Vern about 20 years ago. When I saw his shop it was like stepping back in time crazy place every thing you would need for your old Ford.
thanks for your info.

Working on 1937 ford v-8-60 need help with floating rod bearings. Placed bearings in rods, seams to be ok. but when torque down they will not rotate inside the rod crank is .020 under
