started right up with an exhaust leak from a buggered copper exhaust/head gasket. needs to get another run thru on the valve adjustment, i don't like hearing lifter clatter as much as it is. [not to loud but it bugs me ].

i think i'll bring it down to the miscreants to put it on the lift to change the exhaust gaskets and readjust the lifters and put the rest of the heater tin back on.

but no bad noises!

What a sweet talker Sounds like you dodged a bullet on this one

Good news !

What the heck are you talking about ?

my motor is not hurt

Troy will be leading the 2011 Artist Point Tour!!!!!!!!!

Good news, glad to hear its alive.

Now get me your address so I can get you some springs Troy

Were your shocks bad too?

Cool! Really glad to hear nothing was damaged. You were driving that thing pretty hard the day the noise started.
