Thanks  to everyone that replied to this.

I am planning on pulling the heads this weekend.
 I wondered about the oil pressure relief  thing also.

Bob,
 I am fighting a fuel problem!
damn,   I should of pulled the tank in the first place!
I am still worried about the lower end.
have you ever seen a stripped gear  or is it possible that it broke  the cam
or something?
I can get it back to top dead and the distributor is on #1  with no  "rock"
on the #1 lifters
but there is a strange feeling and noise like the gears stripping   just
before it reaches top dead.
I tapped the valves in with a plastic mallet to see if they would loosen  and
come back out but they are stuck !    and now I cant turn the  motor over of
course.
