On "dispoable" motors, I have taken a ball peen hammer and knocked a hole in the block by the lifter area, replaced the bad lifters, then epoxied/screwed a plate over the hole. I did it as a test for accessing that area to put a roller lifter cam in. I wanted to make sure it wasn't messing with the block strength.

AMC/Jeep gauges are for amusement only. Any correlation between them and reality is purely coincidental!
