If I am not mistaken, the wiring harnesses in 123's and 126's use solder

Btw the glue-filled heat shrink does add some strength, and the wire should be

My understanding is that dehumidifiers don't work well in cold
temperatures so I don't know how well that would work.
I don't think I want to spend what it would cost to run electric heat in

I'd think you could probably fab something up to compress the lifters in situ.

Fred, I got excited and misread you, thought you'd gotten new lifters. New

I'm hoping to avoid.

Greasecar kits would work much better with a good flat plate heat exchanger
just before the engine and a set of electric injector line heaters. They
do use good quality solenoid valves and the round fuel tanks hide away well
in the spare tire well.

How about slipping a fat thickness gauge in between the cam and the valve
stem or whatever it rubs against; put a wrench on the cam sprocket nut; and
a piece of pipe on the other end of the wrench with a weight attached. By
experimenting with the amount of weight on the cheater pipe, it seems
This type is more for neatness or if room is limited.
Generally electrical wiring should not carry a load and should be
fastened to stop vibration damage but then you knew that already.
