What about that carb mounting and how it runs now.

We think alike. I told the tech guy that I had videoed the valves opening and closing so the lobes must be fine.
Right then he said; I don't want to be rude here but what you just said shows your lack of experience. The valves opening and closing only says you didn't go so far as to wipe the lobes clean off and fill your engine with metal. Good on you.

He says most will run it until the lobes are gone before they take a look at the lifters.

Carb has a perfect mount. No vacuum leak at all. No cobble jobs on this engine.
