I need some more shims for the pushrod tubes. When the engine is warmed up, the "O"rings on the outboard ends start to show and oil starts to seep from them. I ordered another set of .132" shims but they are a bit too much so I ordered what I hope will be a set of .040" shims that should do the job. I have over a hour of run time on it and have pulled the lifters after each 30 minutes and they look good. After I get the shims in, I will up my idle jets and get that dialed in and get another hour of run time done before I stab it in the car.
