That's why I'm questioning even going for it. The 292H I had go did it on an engine dyno at a very reputable builder's place. He took me in the dyno cell and showed what had happened and how the pushrod was not spinning. FWIW the guy that built the engine was a member of Pat Musi's crew.
Does it have an aftermarket cam in it now? Gun to my head I wouldn't jack with it if you plan on replacing it in its entirety soon. It's almost cruising season.
