Mahle is a high quality product. That gasket is made out of Victo-Tech, a rubber product invented by Victor Reinz – a highly rated manufacturer and supplier.I like the B/A kit because it’s made in Japan and it’s a good price ($9.48) from RockAuto. If you are an Amazon Prime member, you can buy it for only for $9.62 with overnight shipping for free!Gnarls.
I just got done from doing a valve adjustment on my motor. All looked well, cam appears to be wearing properly. ... but it seems to idle smoother too. I'll upload a video of how it sounds at idle.
As I've said before, I spent time with my valve lash setting and worked to get the rocker tick as even sounding as I could. Sometimes I'd have a rocker slightly louder and I'd go back in and fine tune the adjustment on the lash until I got the rocker tick to be the same as the other 7 rockers.As far as your smoother idle at 8/12, on a factory stock cam, even a .001" change in valve lash changes the overlap degrees. At stock lash 8/12 the overlap is 2.5 degrees. Tightening the lash to 7/11 increases the overlap to 2.7 degrees. Is that enough to affect the idle?... probably not. Although mama ECU on 22RE apparently is sensitive to a cam profile with bigger overlap.Personally I like a lopey cam.Gnarls.
That may vibrate and break off.The longer arm may need to be angle iron or thicker to avoid vibrations
Well everyone, I finally caved. Instead of "Wondering" what might be a cause, I dropped the damn thing off at a shop. They are gonna use their smoker to check for vacuum leaks, and do some other tests. I'm not having them repair anything, simply just checking what's wrong so I can fix it. If I know it's "X, Y, or Z, I can know where to start. My patience has been running thin, I am beginning to no longer enjoy working on this thing. I'm not an expert, nor will I ever claim to be.

Hey T......What's new? Gnarls.
Hey T,Glad to read you are enjoying your Toy.Sounds like you did a great job on that rebuild!Unless I was in a very cold climate, I’d stick with 10-30 motor oil.17 to 19 MPG is the average range I got on 22R at about 1100 feet elevation.I hate leaks, so I’d be fixing those… I’m too anal about leaks.I like the carb air filter you have now.... as long as you stick with just a paper filter... not oiled!On the rocker cover filter, you don’t have to oil the K&N. I ran K&N air filters for 8 years, I can write a short story about my experience and opinions… I don’t like them and would not run them on my engines.If you are really concerned about that little filter you can buy one these every 6 months:https://www.amazon.com/Spectre-Performance-Black-Breather-Filter/dp/B005BHXTY6/ref=asc_df_B005BHXTY6/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=312157681632&hvpos=1o3&hvnetw=g&hvrand=17097269613921438172&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9030014&hvtargid=pla-570856997661&psc=1This modification was very noticeable after installing a DT header and opened exhaust: I just stacked two stock paper air filters.
