The engine was built by a well known FE builder. You would all know him. I bought the car with 800 miles on it. I don't want to run a man's reputation down with second hand information.
When I spoke to him, he was surprised this engine had adjustable valve train. He uses OEM non-adjustable parts on the mild builds. That leaves a question in my mind as to who installed the worn rockers and shaft.
As for the ticking lifters; I would have asked the builder to stand behind them if I had paid for the engine. As second owner, I did not even ask.
A $200 repair is pretty cheap in this hobby.
