PDF file would probably be the easiest way to do it but it would need to have a clickable table of contents at the front so you could go straight to the article you are looking for. I think I can do that but still looking into it. I hate PDFs that you have to scroll through the entire file to find what you are looking for. A good table of contents would make articles easier to find if the PDF was printed off and put in a binder.

IF I do a printed book/manual I think I want the pages to be bound in a way that you could open it to the page you want, and then either have the opposite page fold all the way around to the back to make it easy to hold in one hand, or at least it should lay flat and stay open when you have it opened to the page you want. I hate the large manuals that are constantly trying to close themselves up causing you to lose the page you were on. Maybe putting printed paper pages in the plastic sleeves that are made to be add to a ring binder notebook would be best because the paper pages would be protected from greasy hands. That also might be the cheapest route but then again it might be the more expensive. I don't know.

Ronnie, if you go .pdf we who want a printed version can just print it for ourselves at our leisure. Saves a little bit of expense on your part (paper)....you know us, we always think of your first!!

Good observation. Yes, there was some flash rust in some of those bores. They didn’t need a hone but were cleaned with an oiled patch for a shotgun🤔 The block was laid on its side to do so. I did trial fit lifters in a few of the bores but apparently not my problem child. I don’t believe rust is the issue as it is only in a small range. Fully installed on the cam base circle, the lifter is completely free but lift it 1/4” or so it won’t fall back under its own weight, but will if pushed lightly with a finger.

Thanks for the clarification. Right now mine isn't leaking since I used stop leak but I know eventually it will need to be done. I had this mechanic do a safety check which it passed but the leaking steering rack was one of my ex-mechanics reasons why He thought I should bail and find a better example but frankly, I just don't think he wanted the work. Sure, it needs some TLC but the body is straight and virtually rust free, the interior in very good condition so I'm doing the work myself as it also makes for a good father/son project. Unlike many, I'm not just fixing it up to flip but to enjoy.
