Thanks Man. A lot quieter after I installed the reducers and mufflers. Seems quieter than it did before I did the rebuild, kinda strange. Basically the same except I went from a 230/236 hydraulic roller to a 236/245 with solid roller lifters. Nearest neighbors in the direction the exhaust is pointing is a couple hundred yards away. He's been torturing a small chainsaw trying to buck up some 3" diameter fir all week, so I'm not worrying about him. My next door neighbor the other side likes to run a pressure washer what seem like 24/7 so I don't think I'll get any complaints. Have to restock the beer fridge though, seems every time I start it up someone comes down the driveway to check it out and that usually ends up in quaffing a couple. I only have the stack on there for test and tune, I'd have to have a hole in the hood to run it in the car.
Happy so far, ran about two hours in three days. No leaks, oil pressure is 65 at 1000 plus and 25 at 600 idle. Temp cycles between 160 and 180 depending on rpm.
