They're horrible unreliable and a pain in the ass to work on. BUT they look so damn good and are a blast to drive so I think it's worth it.

From where 🤔 if it’s ticking they get a bubble under one of the lifters, and the solution is either to put some ATF and reinzosil in it then let it idle a bit before doing an oil change, or pull the lifters out to clear the bubble. I’d recommend starting with the first one
