Mine started with removing the intake to have it pressure tested and milled. I reassembled and adjustments kept changing.I also found two lifters that wouldn't come out.I tried to remove the cam through the nose,what a hassel.Held up the lifters with magnets.I stuck a magnet in cam bore and caught each lifter.I got all worried and removed the engine.After a $1,000 Everything had been trapped in filter .Crank was untouched still standard.The changing valve adjustments turned out to be the center two rocker studs on both heads ,heli-coils and all.I had to remove the heads again and have the machine shop machine and install inserts.New comp cam, lifters ,hex adjustable timing set, and pushrods.
I've snice gone off the original sheet of things to do and have the car two feet off the garage floor and it is two years later.Fed Ex and UPS are regulars and still no smoke or noise.
