You can use the 3M repair material under or over the SPI epoxy.

The SPI epoxy block sands very well. On my front...

I have 15x7" wheels with 255/60-15 tires all around.

If you like Rally 2's and aren't stuck on original wheels with specific stamped codes, I wouldn't consider 14's. Like Bman said, tire choice...

I will do that. The main thing is that the tick was there once at warm idle, and was consistent after driving it. Now it is gone, so once I get the starter fixed I will take a drive and put it...

Crap, you are right, I got mixed up with what caused it. Perhaps the sewing machine sound was there all along and now that the tick is gone, I am noticing it? If it is "normal" for roller rockers to...

My only contribution is related to tongue weight. Typical recommendation is 10-12% tongue weight. In my experience 12-14% is a safe bet. Too light and trailers can sway.
