Boid, Good to hear from you. It sounds like your brother really has the GTi hauling the mail, congratulation s. Do you still have your PitBull? Nasty Wendy, Nice looking dog, I now have 2 American Bulldogs but I still wish I could get an American Staffordshire Terrier in Ontario again.

Some roller engines tick more than others and it seems that some of the Comp Cams roller lifters make a bunch of noise and if you believe everything you read on the internet the Morrel roller lifters are quieter if not quiet.
David, JustaSix, has a roller cam in his engine and it is quiet.... at least to my ears. Now I have seen and HEARD guys at the track whose roller lifters were very noticeable and their cars still seemed to run Very well.
When I briefly heard your car at the Sunday morning coffee run I didn't think I was hearing any major issues with your car. If you want, go to a heavy truck shop and see if they have kits that will let you send your oil off to be analyzed. I have many reports from the late 80's from GN #1 and they give a fair amount of info. You just have to get a CLEAN sample of oil to them. That means you fill up the sample jar with oil that is currently draining out of the oil pan, not from a catch can that has crap built up in the bottom from many different vehicles.
P.S. - A roller motor won't be cheap since a cam kit is almost $900 US and then the shipping on top of that will probably put you to about a $1000 Canadian once you convert the money and pay some duties. Also if you are hell bent on spending money I know a guy West of Toronto a bit that was selling a complete engine with roller cam, good pistons, main caps, etc. I am not sure if this was a fully assembled engine or not but I can get some info for you if needed.
Good luck,

Dave,
Looks good, but I *think* they can also be purchased new from Cars Inc. out of NJ. At least I *think* I have seen them in their catalogue I picked up at the BPG Nats.

AJ,
Yes Jim Dotson's car was there.... sort of weird seeing it run when he isn't around anymore.

Did you also order new rear tires? If not you better, you'll need them.

Channer,
I might have a spare Accufab FPR on the shelf in the garage. If you still need to borrow one, let me know and I will grab it for you.

BFH and then buy new windows. Might just be cheaper to take it to a professional to have it removed though. It is a terrible job and I don't (won't) ever do it again myself.
Good luck,

Thanks guys!
If she had been a boy you could have named her Garrett.
Funny... Natasha had that exact name on her short list, and I never even suggested it. 
Mike, A little over 10.5 years ago when Lawrence was born you made that very suggestion for me and I enjoyed it. Enjoy being a Dad, it is a hell of a ride!!

Also I went out fishing yesterday afternoon after work and caught a few Perch, unfortunately my son didn't get any. Depending on weather and ice conditions I "MIGHT" go one more time this season.
