[DeTomaso] Engine Oil Analysis / Willow Springs Update

[Dan Courtney]

That's the unit. Sounds like I have to pull the heads to check the roller lifters because of it.
Oh well, the engine is coming out anyway.
I'm getting tired of engine R&R's. Just dropped the 327 back into the '67 Chevy pick up, still dealing with a bunch of issues from the installation of the "new" 351c into The Winged Warrior and now I have to take The Beast apart once I finally got it dialed in.
Why in the world am I about to buy a 67 GTO ragtop project off Ebay tomorrow? I need to have my head examined.

    Hmmm Rev Kit...never seen one..... I suppose in the event of Valve Float it 
    would keep you from pounding cam and lifters, but if you have the right 
    valve springs and a rev limiter chip it would not be considered anything 
    more then a snake oil and voo-doo device.
