The Weber setup has its own fun as well like the cam end play changing every time the front cover is disturbed. Different gasket, end play changes, torque the front cover end play changes. I went through this pain 17 years ago, snapped the timing chain, broke the woodruff key, bent the valves, great fun. I would think after 30 years there would be a bullet proof setup available to the masses but I get the feeling the best tricks are held very close by the top engine builders. Thanks for sharing your findings Neal!
