Well the trail of events and inspection has finally led me to split the case order new P&Cs, rebuild the heads, I will most likely keep the D-Jet since I have inspected all the components and rebuilt the wire harnesses. With a Steve Long Hydraulic cam and and 2056 displacement are what I'm thinking right now. Any thoughts?

When I purchased mine it had hydraulics. I have the same lifter leak down if I don't start it up every few days. However, it pulls strongly to redline in every gear except 5th. I can't affort that ticket, even tho' it feels like it would keep pulling. I do have a smaller diameter rear tire 195/55/15's, so that could make a difference.
Do I wish mine had hydraulics? NO. So far the noisy valves upon start up have caused no problems that I have seen. Tom |
