Robert has done some Spintron testing as well, while he was R&D'ing his own SOHC heads, which helps with valve spring selection...

If I recall correctly, and understand it right, I believe Damage's Cammer was damaged in part by a flexy chain, or a suspect chain or... something along those lines. So that seems to validate your conclusions Brent.
Customer can rest easy
I must say I'm super curious on the intake... any hints?

Ahhh... Yes of course... My apologies.
Carry on...
