The pump is bad. The seal is leaking and it isn't going to stop. You need a new pump.

Same heads I have. I CC'd them and they are indeed 76 CC. They were easily converted to 16 bolt exhaust as well...

« on: March 02, 2026, 10:00:12 PM »
Agreed... I took the stainless roof rail trim off my 68 Fastback useing a old sunripe (sp) can opener. I used the square end. Be warned.. It is just as hard to put back on.

FE Technical Forum / Re: Valve Adjustment Advice Needed
« on: September 27, 2025, 02:01:33 AM »
I have a very simple way and have done it for decades.. Put the engine a TDC. I tighten all the adjusters to zero (spin the push rod and feel it). Turn the engine over by hand aprox a 1/4 turn and set adjusters to zero.I run my fingers across the rockers. I continue doing this for a two full rotations until I am back at TDC. I now crank the adjusters down for the correct preload..I use this method on all hyd. Solids is different...I have never had to reset a hyd lifter..

I have a comp 270S in my 427 68 Fastback. It's a road car. Cam used to be called a VDM when i installed it in 88. Engine is mild but easily revs to 6400.In 88 there was not a lot of options for FE parts..I have changed alot since then but the 270S is still in it..Cory

FE Technical Forum / Re: 428 CJ valve covers
« on: September 20, 2025, 10:55:59 PM »
I have a 427 FE 68 Fastback. Guessing you will have problems with 1" spacers. Find some pent roof covers. Ansen makes tons or some vintage Cobra lemans. I have one inch spacers on the my real GT 350R covers on my hyd roller 289 in my 65. They use the same bolt pattern and i used studs...Cory

Non-FE Discussion Forum / Re: SBF valvetrain grief - Help needed please!
« on: August 20, 2025, 11:37:27 AM »I don't know but, usually when a guild seizes, it stays seized, because it galls.
I also think that the lifter has bottomed out, to brake the ball off the PR. I'd take a close look at the coil bind and retainer clearance.
It would also be a good idea, to use a endoscope in that cyl, to see if the valve hit the piston.
Agreed........
