First they looked into a guy who had done it on his own time in an Opel GT(!?)

Actually a sensible choice. The car had a great body, but the engine was apparantly designed by demented muskrats. One choice feature was the absence of locknuts on the (manual) valve lash adjusters. So you would adjust the valve clearance, but there was no locknut on the adjuster screw to keep it to where you put it. I never had one, but heard lots of stories from people who did, briefly.
