You and me both! When it had low power but would run, I was thinking some sort of easy to fix valve train issue. once I heard all the crunching I knew it was probably not going to be as easy as I had hoped LOL

On the good side the crunching happened basically idling in the garage so the damage is not as bad as it could’ve been if I were going at high RPMs.

I got the valve cover off the 1-3 head tonight:

I found a loose valve keeper, but the cams look to be in very good shape. May have the magnafluxed just to be sure.

My garage is kind of a mess I need to pick it up and build a workbench to keep all the engine parts sorted out on. Will probably come back to this Sunday morning.

Regards,

Silber
