I agree with having it completely gone through. One lack of discipline effects the rest.

Greg, did you ever talk to Tony about adjust the valves since they are titanium and this is a mechanical?



In all the years I've been messing with stuff -- I've never suffered valve train issues. That would include when I campaigned a D/Gas car. Adjusting valves is a skill that school girls are taught. This isn't an adjustment issue. It's a geometry issue.

Titanium is about weight... not about how they're adjusted. They have hardened steel tips just like any other valve. In fact - that was the first issue way back - a tip "fell" off... Tony said "it happens".

I'll know what the story is in a few weeks and will post up what we find out.
