Without a long painful story and the gory details in how this could have happened, I have a bad/broken lifter. Fortuneatly, the engine stays in....for now. Intake will be removed in pieces...*****ing erector set from hell. The process of peeling that onion back starts tomorrow morning. Kinda wanna throw up a little. BUT, if all goes as planned, will be better than before in terms of a "sound" valve train and may gain a new bling upgrade or two and could be back in running shape in a week
Process of disassembly starts with removing one tube at a time, removing the linkage, rails, leaving only the cast housing....unbolt and remove. I hope...
Looks easy enough

Cause? Not yet....may fully disclose the theory behind what happened and hope will be confirmed once we get in there.
My dime? Yes and no. You can only get so much blood from a rock and VSpeed has coughed up a portion. It will never be enough IMO given my "investment", but I'm pretty cranked right now. Emotions aside, I kick the can one more time and move on.
FWIW, I can't give enough props to the Car Guys in Brighton for their effort and knowledge.sigpic

On a non-show car, sure. The detail that's at risk will make me puke......violently and often. Heads don't have to come off...RHS block has nice accessible windows for quick change shit like this. Lunati link bars.....#1 intake side damn near bottoms out during adjustment. All of them were loud from the start but made adjustments and were "fine" with exception to a couple. #1 was the worst.....not taking any chances.Originally posted by 1BADAIR View Postsigpic

I know....if it were you or I doing it....no worries. As much as I trust the guys turning the wrenches on it now, I've got to take the option with the lowest risk....and least amount of hrs to completeOriginally posted by 1BADAIR View Post
