<VV> starting after sitting..follow up.

[Paul Abel]

Thanks to all who've given me helpful advice. My 65 Monza 4 Dr. 110pg 
sat for many years, has 37K. I had inquired about clattering lifters. 
Suggestions ranged from "put some liqid stuff in the crank case and just 
let it run" to" it'll quiet up eventually" Turns out Ihad 3 bent, and / 
or broken push rods, and tubes, due to, I believe, stuck lifters. All 
happened upon initial startup, I believe. Anyhow, I replaced all 3 rods 
and tubes. Started it up, and bent one of the replacements, 2 seem to be 
functioning correctly now. My question is, can I take the bent tube and 
rod out, and using the old rod, try to force the lifter loose by 
hammering on it without removing anything else, then install another rod 
and tube? I did this on one on the left side, and it is one of the ones 
that is functioning now.

Seeing light at the end of the tunnel,
