Hello guys,
I am back from the mechanic - after we check most of the stuff.
We have not yet removed the cylinder heads yet but we did pretty good gob I think. I first want to talk with Eric since he knows every detail of my engine...
So I will try to answer your questions:
Wbulk: I have Super Hi - Resolution pics. I can upload them if you want better images.
Gaz64: After opening the intake only 1 lifter has a failure. The other one seems ok - I think it is the the stud or something else that failed...
mreid: I am also trying to avoid full re-built. It is really difficult for me to get ( I live in Athens, Greece - I was in FL for studies. :-) and test different parts. Everything I test I basically have to pay. I can not just switch between rockers or different studs / pushrods etc. I will ask Eric. I believe he is the only one who can answer that.
DAVID GAGNARD: Yes the car driving was like that. I bought it with around 690miles. I did another 150miles. There was no change in the car's behavior since the day I bought it. It is my 1st cobra / muscle car etc... So it was not easy for me to know if something was ok or it is just normal engine operation that needed carb tuning. I believe I am more experienced now. :-)
MAStuart:
Oil Psi Gauge died 2-3 days (50-60miles) before the "famous"
oil change. Around 800miles in total.
Thank you - Andronikos,
