Compression, piston height, and leakdown tests tell me that exhaust valves on cylinders 5 & 6 aren't happy with the overrev. Guess it's time to pay VAC Motorsports a few bucks.

Duke, cool stuff man! Love me some Aldo's, that's for sure.

So, VAC recommended against ARP hardware for my application. Still doing the oil pump and heads. (They did talk me into some standard size S/S intake and Inconel exhaust valves, though.) Should have the heads off tomorrow and on the way up north.

You're absolutely right though Duke, VAC has some neat toys. Heard their SEMA booth this year was impressive.

Drool....
