[QUOTE="Cyborg, post: 116873, member: 3426"] Yes... not a big fan of punch locking. Much prefer Loctite. Some types of Loctite apparently aren’t bothered by a bit of oil on the threads, but I prefer to make sure they are squeaky clean. Similar to cylinder bores after honing... when you are sure they are absolutely clean, you’re almost done. Seems to me that the small nuts on the valve lifter pivots were punch locked originally. Seems brutal to me, but not sure what was available back then. Loctite appeared in 56 I think. Someone here will probably ask what bushes you had installed in the cams. Coming from Maughan, I assume they are oilite. Edit... someone asked while I was writing this. [/QUOTE]
