I havae about 5000 miles on my 2056 now, with no troubles other than chasing down some starting issues that were electrical in nature. Its a 2056,, webcam 494, webered motor. Stock pushrods. Runs great, but I have always thought my valve noise on the high side. My valve train geo is a bit off ideal, but about half the folks i talked to said good enough, so I left it at that.
Now that winter is coming, i am thinking I might pull the engine, and go to chromolly pushrods, and optimizing the geometry. Should not be too hard, i think i can even leave most of the tin on it. Any issues with doing this on an already broken in engine? Should I also convert to the 911 adjusters? What would ya'll do in this situation? |
