That engine is never gonna work.... Dump some dirty old oil all over it, then it will be fine :lol:
hmmm did you put the mechanical lifters into that head? i don't see how it can work properly with hydraulic lifters.looking nice though!

Im not even going to try to put a multilayer head gasket on the Mech engines. I might buy the super expensive one the 53 willys used.
There's no need for the extra oil drain. In the vanagon the engine is tipped to 50° and works fine with hyd lifters. I guarantee that no oil drains down either of the front drains. In order to do so, the valve area would be completely submerged. :shock:Andrew
