Keep at it, the EFI should help with the autocross times by, you know, keeping the engine running and all
Yeah having to lean over into the middle of the car to scrap glued on gasket from the heads AND keep the tiny pieces from falling into the lifter valley was extra shitty. I was not a fan of having to do it twice. I ended up just soaking up all the oil in the lifter valley to look for all the little pieces that made it in and simply dumped some fresh oil over everything once it was done.
I'm still dreaming of putting a modern Hemi in this thing eventually. It's nice to say "I built it myself" but if this thing can't get reliable then it's no use to me. Fortunately it's been small issues and some cut corners coming back to bite me in the ass (like a cheap carb)
