Thanks for all the good info guys. I've found an intake gasket leakage problem relating to manifold fitment, that if I can't fix it, I'll dump the webers and go back to the 4bl and BT manifold. If it runs ok after intake leak fix, I'll forgo pulling the heads for now. RR coming up in a few weeks, and weather finally has cooled down (mid 80's) so it's now possible to drive these things in the daytime w/o heatstroke !! If I still have valve train gremlins after it 's back together, I'll have to pull the heads then, but with intake and headers off I've been able to r&r springs, pull and inspect lifters, and visually verify valve seats are not floating around.
Thanks again,
Ted
