Maybe good news

I had a few minutes today to wrench on it. Popped the right side valve cover off got the #4 and 6 on the heel of the cam just for a quick check. Both rockers had a lot of gap so I adjusted to spec buttoned it up and let it run.

Was a more quiet but still sounds like the rest might be just as bad. So I'll proceed with the engine drop.

This was the first time I had the valve cover off and was glad no hardware fell out.

If I had obvious major repairs needed I would have to mothball the car for an undetermined period of time. I know some new posts are coming up as I progress.

Keep you all posted.
