And to the guy Marvin above who said that he has only adjusted his solid lifter valve lash once in 7500 miles, but suggests that he would expect to freshen his engine at 20k miles, I submit this:
I have adjusted my lifters twice in 5300 miles and if I had to freshen my 427 FE up at 20k miles, I'd give it to the Salvation Army.

One of the reasons I gave up on high HP boats. Mercury 1075 hp supercharged marine engine has to be freshened every 50 hours at a cost of 25k. The maintenance on my SPF seems like nothing compared to other toys I have owned.  |
