Default Re: I should have said "valve gap issues"

Normally when you lose valve lash it's due to either a valve seat or a valve issue. If you were gaining lash I'd look at the lifters or pushrods. What is your normal lash? Before pulling heads I would leak the motor down to get a general idea of the shape of the engine. If you don't own a leak down tester buy one they're cheap and give you a good idea of the health of your rings and valves. Good luck. Joe
