    Ok....so I am a little confused I guess. I got the impression that the bottom end wasn't touched....so now I have to ask, was the bottom end rebuilt about 6,000 miles ago and the heads/cam/ignition etc. are brand new and this problem started once you fired it up? Or is it that the heads/cam/ignition etc. all have about 6,000 miles and the motor ran fine at first but it is now running rough?
    Sometimes NOW are the "good old days"...
