Re: engine help?
Drain oil and look for Stuff in the oil, sounds like wipped lobes. If junk in oil take apart the whole engine, everything will have to be gone over, make sure you get the block cleaned out, cam stuff will be deep in oil galleys.

Re: engine help?

Re: engine help?
Just throwing this out, how are the rocker studs held in, screwed or pinned?

Re: engine help?
It would really help to know what engine we're dealing with. And some details about the camshaft, and the rest of the valvetrain.

Re: engine help?
Why would the cam going flat cause a high idle?
