Thanks for the detailed write-up, Chris.

Begs the question: is the gun-drilled camshaft the solution for the 
cam/tappet failures--premature wear--we keep hearing about? Sounds like 
the gun-drilled cam and DW's bucket lifters--which I believe have holes 
in the bottom for additional lubrication to the cam lobes--along with a 
good, ZDDP oil would prevent these failures.
