According to the profile,I think he's in Florida,but originally from Greece......
If I understood his previous post, he said he has driven the car about 150 miles and it was running the same when he bought it to now,he said he was 99.99% sure....that's a lot of time on an engine with this problem....

As for the root cause of all this, there are so many potential issues with the valve train that it needs to start over. At first I thought the push rods were too short, but with the rocker retainer locks so low in the retainer nut, a longer push rod would not allow enough stud thread for safe installation. So then the studs themselves are too short, but that doesn't make a lot of sense either. Wrong rockers? It doesn't appear that is the issue. Frankly, there are so many issues, the engine builder needs to just make this right. But then I don't know that whole story and probably never will.

I agree, that's why I would want to do a tear down and check out the rest of the engine, with the run time on it after the failure,one can't be sure what else could have been damaged internally....
Overall,not good........
