so pretty much i should take the 05 pos and trash it.

 

pos???? Didn't rejet and burned down your own engine! Nobody to blame but yourself....

 

well good news "KNOW IT ALL" , i adjust the lifter and fixed the exhaust leak from the head, no more smoke, no more taps, and runs faster than it did befor i gutted the exhaust. Oh yeah, the last owner rejetted ah! Thanks for nothing.
