Not right now - but I think I am going to gear up for it.
Here are the valve lash results
Exhaust - tolerance 10-14 thousandths. From 1 1 through 4 4
11 11 11 11
09 12 11 12
Intake- tolerance 06-10 thousandths. From 1 1 through 4 4
08 08 08 08 08 08 06 08
One lifter out of tolerance. Should not be causing the jumbled clatter under load I am hearing. A little noise at idle but under load it gets moderately scary. The idle noise quieted down after I added 2 qts this morning.
I am liking the sticking parts theory. I am off to the car parts store in a few to get a leak down tester and a valve cover set. The center rib of the gasket was like plastic it was so hard.
