Guys, I made the decision to pass on the HS rockers and timing gears because I did not want to “open up” that new GEP P400. It wasn’t due to cost because everybody knows I’m spending my last rodeo. My goal with this engine is to have a smooth cool-running and free-breathing reliable NA power...
Are you seriously considering this option? Leroy has the part on his page for $600 + freight. I actually considered installing a set but didn't think the Return On Investment was there. Do you really think it makes that much difference?

I have just ordered a new P400 long block from Leroy Diesel. It will be installed in my M1028 in front of a new 700R4 Level 2 transmission from Bowtie already on hand. Having said that, I would like to invite comments on my next course of action.
