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?

Build it with chromoly pushrods, elephant feet adjusters, and solid lifters. Valve adjustments are quick by setting them at zero lash, and the valve adjustment interval is closer to 8-12k miles instead of 3k miles. I had hydraulic lifters, and hated them. Even as a daily driver they would bleed out and sometimes take a long time to pump back up.
I have no input on djet though, i think jake raby sells a cam for 2056s that will run djet. |
