Yeah, I'd obviously like a set of S2s now that they've proven themselves but for what the install would cost...it's probably not worth the few hp.

They have been put off till infinity now it seems, so don't lose any sleep over it! First it was last week of November, then Dec 22, now I hear Jan 24th. Sigh, at least I got some kelfords that fit! I can't wait to fire this thing up.

I don't know that it's the worst idea in the world. Makes it a PITA to work on the head, but at least you don't get lifter tick! Tough some simple screws and lock nuts like Honda still uses would be nice!

If we cared about lifter tick we wouldn't drive Mitsus.

Scheides put his chain on:

Besides that, a ton of other stuff got done, this being the end result before dinner:

Holy shit, that's a complete motor!

Scheides is probably still in the garage doing a few more things, I'll let him post the details when he's ready.
