Gomer, did you get your install done today? If so, how did it go? Could you tell an increase in noise with the new valvetrain? Does it seem to rev more freely, since you don't have to push all that mass?

My non-Blue Stripes have been holding up well. Replacing with Blue Stripes with new engine from MTI shortly, going into my Patriot LQ9's.
The 941 failures were much worse and in greater #.
Perhaps the 918's singles caused more damage tho.
I would run the 918's up to .590 lift.
