Wondering if anyone has an old aluminum air scoop with spark arrester. Doesn't have to be perfect. Cheap!
Husband died of cancer & I had to give it to rightful owner to keep the peace. 7 mos later... Really dude. Over a 50$ scoop. Sad

The owner of National Auto took me way back in his shop to show me how to check for bent rods etc.. And what it means if there are scratches or metal flakes on the little rocker thingy that sits in rocker and how to test spring with hammer shaft to see if springs back after put pressure. It was really really cool..
It makes me feel like a dork not knowing how but I'm learning...
Give me a busineds/retail store to run & I'm excellent at it.. Ha ha
At least I have common sense.. SMILES..
thanks Joe

I want to thank everyone for their help here..amazing help from you guys !!!
Fixed valve bridges...parts were difficult to find for 455 Olds. Had to buy kit.
No bent rods whew!
She purrs like a kitten and at 5000 rpm runs at 108 temp. That's insane. She always ran so hot before I tore her down.
I do have one last question concerning water lines to hooker headers. Has new brass nipples....
I am wondering if its normal for the water to be squirting/spraying out thru the little holes under the headers ?? Which means the water is outside stringers on carpet area then runs down thru hole to bottom of boat & out via bilge pump..
It seems a little excessive to me and was wanting to know if this is OK??
Thanks, wrenchingirl

I will take valve cover off tomorrow... Sounded like rod hitting valve cover top end. Immediately shut off. Restarted to see if would for split second n it did. Think valves didn't get adjusted right. My neighbor did that part...

It seemed so but the temp gauge was reading 108...the whole time. When I shut it off it said 180. I could tell thou. I was back there while my friend drove trying to adjust water in headers. Had nothing. Opened both ball valves all way. Then closed. Nothing changed. But there was water to the headers cuz it was dripping by water lines...
I couldn't get it to cone out header pipe so I could see it..
Maybe clog in my line somewhere?
That's what a guy told me

Rattle top end noise under valve cover. Will take off valve cover Monday and let ya know what I find.. Also was told I might have a clog in water line. At 3500 flying jetavator it started getting hot. Tried to adjust water @ ball valves at intake manifold with no luck. Saw no diff of water coming out of headers wide open or full closed.
Hnmmm will replace lines but hope that's all it is..

Hi guys, OK don't laugh. I am learning how to work on my 1974-75. 455 Olds in my flat bottom. Husband passed from cancer last Dec & I feel like he would be proud. The thing was spewing oil everywhere. Used to be turn key. With the help of my neighbor I tore it all the way down with heads off. All new gaskets, new headers, bilge pump & switch. I bent water lines installed a puke tank. Found a guy from Craig's list to fabricate a plate for me. Put back together & she purrs like a kitten. Had her up to 3500 rpm running great then started hearing ROD KNOCKING...Shut motor off immediately! I started it back up for a split second to see if froze. Nope it started. Didn't go thru. So before I take valve cover off in looking for tips & pointers to fix it myself.
Do I need to do both sides?
Its was just the drivers side.
Do I replace all rods & rockers?
Or just one rod?
What's the specs on tightening?
I have a million questions & am excited to learn.
Please help...
