Thank you Harvey. All very good information to have. I will be performing a lot of maintenance on the SVX quite soon, and replacing the valve cover gaskets is one of them. I will be sure to let everyone know when I get the measurements for the lobe clearance, and also of course when I have the new camshafts done up.

I am also considering purchasing a spare engine, that I can build more easily from outside of the car. If this ends up being the case, I will be performing a lot more work than just camshafts.

Decisions, decisions... AWD 5MT, or built N/A engine?
