Youch. It's the hobby that allows you to never be "finished." You'll have a solid setup soon enough.

Either the poly lock came loose or you have a damaged lifter or something. Do you get consistent valve movement on those cylinders vs. the rest?

Once its tightened down, they all feel the same...

I am thinking the loc came loose.

Last time I had a rocker "come lose" it turned out to be a lifter on the CAM going flat. Do you have a flat tappet cam or roller?

I didnt demolished the rocker, so i am putting back on ofr a test fire up, and see. Its a roller cam. Hopping i dont have a failed lifter.

You get it going again?

Haha Man its been along time.

Got the car back up and running, Put about 1k miles on it last summer. Ran great the whole.

LAst track day of the summer My A9L computer took a dump and locked all the injectors open.......... Filling the cylinders full of fuel and Hydro locking the motor.

Came home and pulled the plugs and cranked it over to get the fuel out..... Fuel arced on the starter solenoid and caught the car on fire.



Major mess, nothing damaged other than hoses and wires.

Fast forward to current day,

I am buttoning up a DART 363 and TKO600 for it.
