I have heard that noisy tappets is often a weak oil pump. As for those hydraulic valve lash adjusters, is there such a thing as a higher performance version of those? When I think of spiffing out the EJ22T heads, I'm not talking $5,000, but I might go for $500 or so in machine work etc. What I would like to know is what could a halfway competent head rebuilder do that would eliminate the most obvious flow restrictions and give is the most bang for the buck? I am not a drag racer, I just want to have a street car with about 275bhp at the flywheel without spending a ton of money on an old car. Let's get a discussion going on this subject..

Valve lash adjusters & head mods
Bill-check out www.paeco.com for mild to wild headwork; the basic work is about $400, I believe, & you can go up from there. I`d request a printed catalogue (I have one & it`s great) for the real low-down. BTW, they will be doing my new stroker motor late next year including headwork, ceramic coatings, etc. Their headwork should be more than adequate for your application. Post me back when you get it & tell me what you think.---ROD (AZ.)----- Original Message -----
