Unfortunately after inspection.. it appears that when the motor was built they used softer springs (50lbs lower than recommended for setup. I have the car in the shop now.. top end will need to be rebuilt.. The motor is a solid lifter 428FE.. due to under engineering on the valve train .. there's been excessive wear on on lifters and camshaft, valves, etc.... yike$. I had the car inspected by a guy who is supposedly the "cars to the stars" kind of guy. He charged me a fortune and missed something obvious.. I even mentioned valve train as something to check. Love the car.. but 4 months in I'm more po'd that I was patted on the head and essentially ripped off on the purchase inspection.. maybe even the broker.
