These dealers want you to buy the Roush engine because they get about a 2000.00 to 3000.00 kick back on them. This is one reason I have not been able to do much business with some of these dealers because they want a lot of money packed on top for them. That is just the way it is and the way they all set it up. Good luck but they are having there problems to.

Let me know if I can help you in any way.

And reading between the lines of Keith's crystal-clear post, I interpret it to say "and no, if you have a properly installed hydraulic lifter valve train on your FE, there is no reason to have to pull your valve covers off and retorque the damn thing."
