If you have an after market header you may have a ticking sound coming from that. Also, the Evap purge valve makes a ticking sound. Flowmaster doe not equal performance. Get a Magnaflow. Good sound and good performance.

From your photos it appears the lifters were spinning in their bores and they don't appear to me to be "all beat up" in that picture, at least to me. Obviously the one lifter never mated with its cam lobe. Curious how long it ran after break in as I have never seen one wear all the way through a lifter like that ... kudos

I'm looking at this picture and I'm stuck. Will it properly work if to make such full round piston dish to gain dish as large as possible?

I was racking my brain trying to read through all of this with the bad spelling and drunken spelling trying to figure out the difference until I read this. Stay out of that hell hole and get some water jugs before you die of a stroke. That Navajo land is no joke. :doh:

Also what radiator are you running in the wasteland? I would be temped to visit Mt. Charleston someday with my wagon and a tri-core but something tells me the factory twin core radiator would puke itself before I even get to the base of the mountain. Not sure if it would hold up during the Spring and Summer either.
