I did the work myself and adjusted the valve per manual’s instructions to center it. Nothing I saw warned about greasing the valves but now I see a few suppliers do mention not to grease the valve.

I definitely want to fix it but if it continues to be problematic I’ll switch to the borgesen box. I drive my 82 as a daily driver in good weather.

You have to drop the spare tire and pan to gain access and really nail down what is wiggling. It’s probably a U joint but you want to be sure.

Someone was really grinding down those connecting rods but it looks like they were doing it for clearance issues rather than balancing. Can you get a pic of the large counter weights?
