Default Another idle video.

I know........they are getting old. BUT I wanted to post this recent youtube video I shot yesterday. It's been about a year and a half since I installed the 228R from TSP and in excess of 15,000 miles! It's been a great cam, even though I've had my share of minor problems(i.e. oil pressure, valve train noise, valve stem seals) HOWEVER these have all been resolved and it's wonderful!

I wished I could remember how to post the direct youtube video window, but the link is all I can Manage now.

It sure did!

I corrected my original post........THANKS!

I want to clarify my problems for those who don't know...my oil pressure issue was a goose chase...it's really fine.

My valve train noise was also an imaginary issue that troubled me....it no longer has any.

HOWEVER my valve stem seals DID have some trouble but the reworked heads solved that!
