Mark - Jesel has inspected them and found no material defect and has set up an evaluation of the entire valve train with a local vendor who tests parts for them. That inspection/evaluation is scheduled for this Friday.
A big thanks to Jersey Panteras member, Mel Goldenberg, for letting me use his pickup and newly purchased enclosed trailer to transport my Pantera. For those of you who don't Mel he is one of the most genuine and generous individuals you could ever know. His help and support for years has been essential in me totally re-doing the car cosmetically and mechanically.
I will report back with the results as soon as possible.
