Busted stuff...again
I was running the valves before tonights race. #1 exhaust and #8 exhaust had excessive lash.
Turns out the pushrod/rocker arm adjuster were galled. Stuff happens when you run high spring pressure/big lift and 7500 rpm. Time for new pushrods and adjusters. Just another $500 dollar bill.

Re: Busted stuff...again
Jim,
You think you will get it back together for the Dos Palos deal 5/21?

Re: Busted stuff...again
It maybe a little optimistic...I'm assuming it will run when I put it back together...lol
According to map quest I'm 5 hours away. Probably are going to stay Friday night in Los Banos.
