Picked up the heads and valve train parts about 3 this afternoon. Finished assembly, including cam degree, changing the heads over to studs, guide plates, and roller rocker arms, checking pushrod length, checked clearances, taped off and painted about 9 tonight. Will be setting it in manana.

It definately got my attention when we lined up side by side and raced those two times. :eek: You picked up quite a bit of speed. I'll have to step up this winter to stay ahead. :p

Hey Bert.... You still have a little left. Remember, you only have 28* total advance in it.
