Chris,  I've tightened down the head bolts, but since the head was planed (and I think the new gasket is a little thinner), the brass fitting in the oil bolt is now pointed in the wrong direction.  I believe that even if I made a longer oil line, it would hit the valve cover because of the direction the fitting points.

Idea for this?

Also, I had to replace the transmission input shaft and coupling, and when I pulled out the shaft the bearings slipped right out by hand.  Seems like they should be a tighter fit so the outside of the bearing could not turn.  Do I need to do something about this?

Thanks very much.

Tom
