I do have the revised lifters.
I took the VC off and everything looked fine. I tried to wiggle each rocker and they are all nice and stuck in place. I tried pushing down on lifters and they were all stiff, couldn't push any down.
Stopped by Dodge and picked up 1 can of MCCC. Sprayed the whole can through the PCV line. Smoked out the whole neighborhood
The car has been idling for quite awhile now. I'm going to take it around the block to see if the sound has gotten better.
Brownman did stop by, and heard the car idle, and free rev. Sounded like he didn't think anything was abnormal.
