Ouch, sucks to hear the issues. But at least you don't have to pull the head(s).

Probably nothing except swapping his fuel bucket over. I'm sure he cleaned every nook n' cranny and gave it a quick polish though for no reason lol.

True statement. This tank was buried in a guys garage for a few years. Washed it inside and out. I even sanded down some of the scuff marks and wiped some old rustoleum paint I had where the plastic had "whitened" from the sanding process. Issues man, lots of issues.....

Well, it looks like you're making progress. Take your time, and hopefully it's just a lifter.

This event seems to be my Everest the past few years! I don't see why It cant work out, though i hoped for a couple weeks of seat time before we hauled it down there. It's just lifters and a "minute or two" to sync the tbodies again

Baseline tune is already in it....they just need to clean it up.

[QUOTE=LPE 403;17362538]Confirmed today some disassembly is in order thanks to a bad lifter

What lead to the discovery of the bad lifter? The original shop doing the rework?

This is the first time I've come across your build.

You do AMAZING work!

I might be in the minority on this one, but I like the fact that the interior is still stock.

Damn Brent that sucks but guess could be worse (nice block choice makes your job lots easier) Also having to cover everything sucks now everytime I do work I have to use protection to. Good luck buddy and hope to see soon!!!

Bad miss and rattle on the left side. Lunati 72437's. Lifters were sent out and are being investigated for failure cause. Original shop is not doing the rework, but have been supporting to this point. Comp's are coming, but may go to the Morel 5206.....if I can get a set quick enough.

Appreciate the words, thank you. I like the interior is stock too, but probably won't be for long. New front seats and rear seat delete are on the list....

Watching the wrenches fly under there does make the stomach turn a little. Knock on wood, extra precaution has been taken and so far damage has been minimal.

Getting back to the "bling" side of things for a minute..... Noticed a couple of the linkage pieces that were anodized black had some of the finish missing in places. Wasn't doing a whole lot this afternoon, so i got the sandpaper and air tools out.
