1/4" that is alot. Remove your valve covers, build dams out of aluminium foil to direct oil back into the head and start your engine. If you dont rev you will be surprised very little oil will escape and the aluminium foil is very formable it that is a word. You can watch all your rockers at once, readjust the loose one.

I had the tell tale GM rocker pop sound, telling me the intake valve was opening but the exhaust wasn't opening far enough. It was also hesitating like it was missing as I pulled it into the driveway.I can't think of anything else being wrong.....bent push rod maybe? Bad lifter?

Gonna have to tear it apart to find out.

Question is, can we get it all done in 4 weeks befor the wedding?
