I checked my Liang Viper book when I got home and this is what he writes about the 2000’s…(same deal for 2001 and 2002).
“The 2000 model year saw a revised engine package to meet EPA requirements. This included a milder cam with 6 degrees less overlap; revised “high leakdown” lifters to smooth out idle; and lighter, stronger eutectic cast-aluminum pistons replacing the forged pistons.”
