I agree. Harlands are,well,pretty much junk.Luckilly I have my hands in alot of motors throughout the years. Morels fail too. Alot of cars rev to 7000rpm but alot are floating then too,expecially with an aftermarket-heavier-rocker.My old dynojet wouldn't pick it up but the new load dyno does. The problem with stock rockers is that they can side load the valves which wears down the guides.Alot of times you have to shim up the stock rockers to get rid of the problem.Within the last year we've pulled a few heads that the guides were gone.Such heads as AFR and TFS will show this problem,the main reason TFS recommends a roller rocker.

Update,the car is collecting dust while I'm collecting parts.Heads will be here next week.Got a new oil pan setup,valve covers ect coming,wanted new for powdercoating.Got a set of truck coils with brackets/harnesses. Tranny is going back to FLT for them to look it over and do hardened shafts.Converter is going back to Yank to be restalled/checked over.
So,alot of stuff moving but not in the car yet.

Yes Richie is going to do specialty events on the east coast. Him and Nate Prichett are going to be working together on a few events. I'm excited about that. I'm thinking of setting my car up for 275 radial.
