Well, as you probably read, I blew a headgasket under the #3 cyl.
Since I have the engine open, I thought I'd go back to a quieter lifter. My CC lifter were a bit tickey. Just thought quieter would promote less false knock. As for pushrods, the headgasket that blew, rubbed against the pushrod and scored it up a little.
As for headgasket, I spoke to Red Armstrong and he told me that the stock headgasket is adaquate enough.
Thx.
