So I finally had a free afternoon today and decided to address something that's been bothering me for quite a while, the valves. Valve covers were moving a little, truck sounded horrible (don't drive it much), and just running pretty terrible all around.
Turns out that a few of them had up to 0.200 play!!! How was the thing even running?? And what the heck causes that? A couple of them were tight too, but only by a few thousandths. Did I mess up that bad last time (when I installed new rocker assemblies and got the truck running for the first time since buying it), or is there something that could make that happen?
Thoughts appreciated and have a good Fourth!
PS, it runs great now! Smooth as can be.
