Just because you don't find barrel nuts under the valve covers doesn't mean that the studs aren't pulling out of the case.
Unless you re-check the torque, it's still a possibility.


Aside from using higher octane gas, I would also check the curve on the distributor.
With a timing light (Stroboscope), what degree/range on the pulley do you see at 5-6K RPM?
