It's kinda wordy for an emblem.

I'm now planning a trip to your home track.....

Cool, I'll take you for a beer or two after I win

On the engine front, the dyno is booked for around the end of the month BUT several of the rockers were NFG (manufactured wrong) excessive wear on the roller tips SO hopefully they can be replaced in time

I guess I'm sort of wondering why my previous engine guy never checked any of this, but, maybe it explains the cumulative problems, that I've had before this.

Made the decision this morning, with Brent' advise, rather than buy 7 replacement rockers, to go with a much heavier duty T&D rocker system.

Real T&D or the street version?

I haven't seen them yet, but am assuming the street version.

Looks good, maybe you need a pair of glass valve covers!
