Doing a flat 4 long block involves many alignment pins, two timing chains, head/lash clearances, resealing what must be about a hundred yards of silicone, then the tally of the multiple o-rings, VVT filters, pesky rear main seals, making sure all machine work is 100%...it's a lot more work. There's a reason most shops don't do whole long blocks--its much more liability.

Excited to be sending you 2 blocks after Christmas (well, one and a half lol). I havent been following motor data on the forums lately, are there any updates on fixing the rocker axles that can slide out and punch holes in rocker covers? Do you guys currently do anything to modify them?

TIA
