Well, there goes the warrenty, " "Gotcha beat, 116,500+ miles. Still going strong with the blower" The reason I posted that here was with all the comments on ohc vs. pushrods I thought this would be interesting to note. I don't want to start another flame war, just point out that they are reaching 100,000 now with no major problems. The one with the blower even made it, that's amazing since the blower is so hard on things, especially if tuned wrong. Shouldn't be too much longer before we see them cracking more milestones that will shatter that longevity issue. Yes I know there are pushrods that make it farther than that easily, I know there are cammed motors that have failed dramatically before this, I'm just offering this up as more proof that the motors can and do last as long as the others, these are just two examples that I happened to run across.

I'm putting the intake manifold back on now and am wondering if i should put this new valley cover gasket on. When i took the manifold off, there wasn't one there, but the former owner told me he had replaced the intake gasket and he later turned out to be the type who would not put a valley cover in if it cost more than a couple bucks. So what's the deal--do i use it or go without? That's it for now-- Jeremy 1988 F-250 4x4 460 Fuel Injection _______________________________________________________________ Get Free Email and Do More On The Web.
