I'll take your second question. With today's quality valve train components, on a street car you might adjust your lifters once a year. It's no big deal at all, and you might even find you enjoy it. I have had the same rubber gaskets, that are glued to the valve cover side, for years. I just put a swab of open-gear grease on them when I put the covers back on. |
