I hear ya Bill, that amazed me too. He's smart and modest...

Eddy, I'm thinking along those lines. I've replaced the lifters before, but I'm going to do it again. I've got 2 new sets now, 1 made in Korea and 1 made J apan. Guess which I'll be using. I've got a Fel-pro head set; sufficient? Or should I get a couple head gaskets from OE? The machinist will be doing a valve lap/grind with alot of new stuff in the head, just for good meaure and parts are cheap for me. I may come get you to help me prep the decks, ok? What was that Costa Rican concoction you were inclined to imbibe in, again?

Fasteddy's advice is occasionally sound...
