Ok looking under the hood of the new cobra, and the PO has told me that the 302 has a bend pushrod ... anyhow I was planning on getting a newer 302HO but wondering a couple things first:
1. I was looking at the rods with just valve covers off and cannots ee anything obvious, I guess I should remove the rockers and pull out the rods to really examine them? How? Just roll them on a flat surface?
2. I checked the oil and noticed something that disturbs me ... the oil dip has the "full" mark about 1" up the dip ... however the oil reading us about 1/2 way up the entire dip!! like 8" or so!! Think thats a cracked block and tranny fluid is getting into the pan or whats up with that?
Thanks for your time guys
