I run Yokohama Radial 352s. 295/50/15 rear and 245/60/15 front. I see BFG sells same sizes through TireRack.

Just an update. Car is back and all repaired. Rocker shaft broke and as a result, bent push rods, crushed lifters and bent valves. So, both heads removed, machined and completely redone, new valves,...

I really don’t know, but the paperwork said the 428FE was re-built as original by Danbury Competition when the car was made. I’ll ask Jim who is doing the motor work now.

Nice! Great color. I’m not too far from you. Is this the car from Colorado?

I’ll ask if the push rods are different lengths but I can’t imagine that’s the case. The failure was the broken rocker arm, it ran perfect before that happened. Either way I plan to have all of the...

It’s not rust, it does look like rust but it’s more like aged oil that’s dried up, moist to the touch. Car was built in 1995 and I bought it in late 2014 with 4900 miles on it. I drive it often, has...

Looks like more than I expected, found bent push rod. Leakdown test at 60% on that cylinder. Head is coming off next to look at valve.

Agreed. The rocker arm broke so the valve never opened therefore could not have touched the piston. That’s my view.

It’s going to Jim Coleman on Monday, likely a Harland Sharp roller setup.

It feels like dry oil if that makes sense. I'd really now like to replace the valve train with a nice new roller set-up or something more modern, like Ted's.

I certainly will. I was very interested in buying that custom looking brown wood shingle house across from you a number of years back, they did a nice job on that.

The shop I want to pick up the car and repair it has been busy and it may be another week before they get it in. It’s so hot out these days I don’t mind, but I am starting to get impatient.

I bought #418 which is a 1995 with 4800 miles a few years back. Not sure there were any major changes beyond 1995 that would deter a potential buyer. You really can’t go wrong though.

I might try that tomorrow. I took off all the valve cover nuts and the cover didn’t want to come off. Has a nice thick black gasket. Is it normal to have to pry off the valve cover? If so, what’s...

Thanks, I, feeling better already. I’m tempted to fire up the motor and get a video of the noise to share. Perhaps tomorrow I’ll do that.

I spoke with Joe as well as the guys from Cobra Automotive. Both think it痴 likely a top end issue, perhaps a push rod. I fired it up again and about every 2-3 seconds it makes a pretty loud clank...

Yes, that’s where the motor was sourced and built back in 1995. I have all the original paperwork, showing a $6500 build price back then. Can they do everything or do they want just the motor?
