Default Re: Update E-F/SA Bird Build...

Removed heads, #4 exh valve bent, as suspected... only went to 5700-5800.
Pulling shortblock tonight, to check #4 bearing, and make sure its not passing anything, as the filter was pretty clean, but, lifters already showing wear. Cam still looks fair. Also alot easier to degree cam, and i have a pan bolt, along passenger side, that is leaking a bit...( a first for me) ...Chris at Comp is gonna be working on a new grind for me, and we will figure out springs and lifters...Hope to be ready for testing, before Joliet.... fingers crossed...Piston had very small spot on it...
