haha thread stealer!

Nah that's good news. It still seems like it's skipping or something like that.
Like it's running running of five cylinders or something...

I dont quite understand.. good news for me? Sorry about that.. didnt mean to be a thread stealer, but this issue has plagued me for some time, causing me to turn down quite a few nights at the track.. any help guys?

Valve Tick

I had a valve tick. Valve adjustment was fine. Compression was good on all cylinders. People listening said run it. Second shift at 6,000 resulted in what you can see at the following:

If your tick does not go away with a valve adjustment pull the head.

It was an expensive racing lesson.
