Make PSILOCYBIN legal for TBI/PTSD/TRA&D

So. . .while the big change is still on the drawing board, a problem surfaced yesterday. Initially thought i had an exhaust leak. Brought it to the exhaust shop - negative. I have a bad lifter - which really sucks b/c we were just there during the desmog/refresh.
Question - the 2f has 250K on her. No smoke, runs perfect, no other problems. Since a lifter(s) needs to be replaced, should I go ahead and do the valves, springs, lifters, etc.? Yes, I know she's going to be yanked soon - doesn't matter to me.
How far should I go?

Don't waste your money. Replace the lifter. Run it till you decide the proper course of action for your situation depending on what you have decided for the long term solutions.

Not thinking anything, just wondering if it was actually removed and examined or if it's just diagnosis.

It's just that there's other things in the line-up, camshaft -> lifter -> pushrod -> rocker arm etc.

Been MIA for a bit - still in self preservation mode at the moment but haven't abandoned the 60 project. . .just a small hiatus.
What have I been doing?
1. Clinic schedule literally exploded. Good for bank account, bad for private time/personal projects.
2. Scooby, our beloved Doberman, was injured. C4/5 herniation with spinal core bleed. Lost motor & superficial to all 4 limbs. Brought him to Mississippi State University Vet School - where he had an emergency MRI, partial discectomy and decompression. He's coming home Sunday, 3 months of spinal cord rehab and given a good prognosis: 85% recovery (slight destabilization of rear limbs) all the way to 100% recovery. Initially was going to put the 60 on the chopping block to pay for his surgery/services. . .then my wife reminded me we have pet insurance...bullet dodged.
3. Buying the property next to us. Owner is a fellow DAV and offered me a price I couldn't pass, so gaining 5.7 additional acres of river property. River otters included.
4. Still haven't fully moved out of our old house - thus haven't sold it yet. Carrying two households is. well, a little taxing.
5. Bought a Honda Pioneer 700 - you know, to tote Scooby around and eventually help manage the property.
6. Obama's last chess move - 41F - caused me to go on a shopping spree. Bought 3 suppressors, 2 SBR's, 1 SBS, and 2 handguns for s***s & grins.
Where am I going with the 60?
1. Hybrid 60/80, staying with the LS conversion, upgraded axles/brakes/suspension. Simply decided to go for broke vs. killing myself with numerous, often repetitive, projects.
2. Still buying parts - OEM, NOS when I see them from time-to-time.
3. The valve noise was only the valves needing adjustment. Runs smooth as butter, no smoke, good acceleration, love driving it.
4. Changed the master to the FJ80 with no other changes. The mofo stops like a Miata now - perfect until the LS swap.
5. While waiting for the 60/80/LS build, going to finally finish the door cards, carpet, and hopefully dash.
That's it for now. Hope all is well with the community and talk to you guys soon-
Shane
