He's well aware of the issue, I show up at his shop to buy whatever needs replacing when it happens. He has said I should really consider going to a shaft rocker as the hp I'm making and rpms I turn are not really friendly to a conventional headed 383 with Brodix Trac 1 heads. I think I'm going to save that money for now and spend it when I can get my hands on a decent set of 18 degree stuff. I'd like to go full shaft at that point.
