Just shy of 300hrs........ motors run great and I am sure I could squeeze another season out of them but I am the second owner and just want to go through them now and have a clear head......... an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure......

Hey John,
Dont jump the gun yet. We have to make sure the blocks dont need to be bored before we even start to think about head gaskets. Head gaskets are bore specific. They will be out and apart before you know it.

300hrs...surprised they have held up that long. Mine were toasted @ 200hrs. Definitely time! I would take it you are going thru the heads? And replacing the valve spring with the one that come with your new hydraulic roller blower cams? In all seriousness replacing the flat tappet cams would be a good move. If you do need to bore it bumping comp. from 7.5 to 8.5 with would definitely make more power without stressing the blower anymore. It sure is fun to spend someone else's money! Sounds like a fun project.
