Thanks all, Bart I have read your build, a couple times trying to learn the little details that mean a lot. Is a new harmonic balancer a must. It may need guide plates because the ticking sound it was making was a rocker arm turned enough to push on the valve top cup a bit and not just the valve head. Bart I did get a bit confused when you said I think page 7 you may go with just stainless valves and not seats so is just stainless valves an option or are they needed with hardened seats? Do stock rods ever fail on a stock build, new rods while nice seem like overkill. All the rods and bearings were in nice shape.
