Call Ted first. Present him with your questions.
I've had lots of dealings with Ted and spent lots of money there. If there
is an issue with the parts, I'm sure he will do good by you.
No financial interest...yadda yadda yadda. Just a VERY happy customer.

It's entirely possible I have the cam 180* out. But the punch marks line up
per the Bentley Manual. Perhaps with the regrind the cam was done 180* out.
The tappets are new (from Spitbits), the pushrods are old. I didn't check
them for length, but nothing looked wacky when I took it off. The engine ran
pretty smoothly before I took it apart, and most of the other components
looked very good (no ridge in the cylinders, etc.).
Come to think of it, Ted did mention something about having the head shaved
.050". That gap just looks like way more than .050"! I didn't have the head
shaved, but perhaps I should.
Getting the block decked would not be a good option as this is the 1500 with
the recessed bores. Getting longer pushrods would be an option though.
I'm located in NW New Jersey. Anyone have a good reccommendation for a
machine shop along the I-78 corridor between Clinton and Newark?
Thanks for the responses.
