We decided to stay with a flat tappet... worked for 10 years
on the old engine...

We upped the compression by a point plus, flowed the heads and had George
at Clay Smith spec a new cam after talking to me a bit
Cam is a little less lift but 10 degrees more duration
I wanted a little more on the top end and really could lose a
little on the bottom end-trying not to blow the tires of the thing
Pistons are Racetech lighter units with a light wrist pin
Just honed it .005 and reconditioned the Kryptonight rods,
Polished the crank, new oil pump, rockers and all new exhaust valves
and that was it

We will see if it does what I want
I also fixed the problem I had with the clutch hanging
up.... The shaft that the throw out bearing was riding on
was buggered up and then it would scrape up the throwout
All new pieces and I cut a relieve in the throw out for grease
so it won't happen again
