The heads are back on and torqued down! I need to get my new rockers on and the rocker pivots have a "V" ground into them for oil lubrication. Does anyone know what direction the V needs to point? I'm the one who installed them previously and probably wasn't as careful then as I am now, so just reinstalling the way they were when I took them out this time doesn't give me the warm fuzzies!

How much are you in it for so far?

I'm trying not to think about it but probably about $1000, maybe a little more! Any idea on the direction of the oil grooves on the rocker pivots?

Just a quick update to close this thread out. I now have 3000 miles on the engine since the rebuild and the antifreeze is staying put. I'm guessing the warped head caused the disappearing antifreeze. Not sure what would've caused the warped head, but for now it's running well. Thanks again for everyone's time and help!
