to the lifters in this block, but such is life. I also might mention that this engine
has MPG port plates installed...both intake and exhaust. I don't know how
much difference they make but there is no mid-range flat spot. With such a
light car I wouldn't think there would be anyway. Thanks again, Brent.
I am curious as to why the heads must come off to inspect the lifters on a Boss 302? I had a 351C and the lifters could be inspected without removing the heads.
