thanks Greg
it's all a crapshoot, if everything is correct, pushrod length and adjustment, noise is minimal. As for cracking, absolutely not an issue. I cringe when I read some of the BS out there. Not saying there aren't situations where cracking has occurred but for the most part, they are the best available and Champion is continually improving the casting, they are the best there is today.. I have no reservations using them.
