Last year when my project started when I was reinstalling my intake manifold. My valve adjustments kept changing .I found two flat cam lobes and mushroomed lifters but the real problem was the center two rocker studs on both heads were pulling ,Heli-coils and all.Heck I had the alluminum heads all done at shop. and after reassembly 'I' found the studs pulled some more,enough to notice now. Had to go to an insert. I had to remove the heads again to havethe shop machine acurately .Head gaskets $32 each plus shipping.The pulling was not noticed by myself or the machine shop before.Heck! George sold me the inserts. The oilfilter had caught everything no damage to crank or bearings.
