I am glad I am not alone on this. I did a mild rebuild on mine. Nice Babbitt, honed and new rings, and a stipe 330 cam with new big foot colony adjustable lifters set at 12 and 12 as per stipe instructions, up on start up, a little more clackedy clack then I thought they would be, but then quiets right down after the rpm's are brought up a little and a little oil flow.
