Don,
You sound like you hit the nail on the head!! Iwent up to the auto parts store to replace a insulator cap on a spark plug wire which had melted near a header pipe, and that is exactly what the parts manager said. That a valve spring had lost it's retainer clip, snapped or possibly bent a rod. Yes, the engine continues to pop through the carbuerator when it is running. After rechecking the carb jets, they are fine as they flow. I have not reved the engine much over 5000rpm through any gear, the oil pressure continues to hold 50+ lbs, and the running temp has stayed under 200 since installing the puller fan. Is this something that I have caused? What should I do about getting it fixed. Obviously, I will have to talk with Bill Parham since the engine is still under warranty, unless my oil cooler line mix up has caused this. I have driven the car 500-600 miles of trouble free operation, with the engine runnig strong. So what's next?

PS Is it time to send you a round trip ticket from Birminham?
