Nope,
Keeping the stock stroke.
Dont really "need" to make it bigger yet.
Just going to go to a roller cam and possibly a new rocker arm.

So did it drop the valve & mess everything up ?
Hope it was limited to the top end stuff too !!

I hope not too much damage, for your pocketbook & your sanity sake...

good call on the going to a Roller cam decision
make sure to have the lifter bores checked,
don't take it for granted

who's Roller & what spec.'s, are you thinking of using ?
Just curious...
{I rarely will ever make any recommendation on camshafts,
like to leave that to the actual real camshaft experts,
I know what I like & works for me, but I keep it to my self usually too}

keep us posted

Everything checked out ok, so Im putting it back together.

Oh ****! So sorry to see that Bob. Looks like it did some damage. Start on it now and it`ll be done for next season! I hope....

 

[bobtile]

And, we're off!

Always fun finding all the bad things that were done to a car by previous owners, I'm sure you'll have it on kill for next year!!

Boy you seem to have bad luck with the valve train. Try to avoid that next year!
