Batty, oddly enough, that exhaust gasket leak can cause a change in your airflow around your valves. This can put pressure on the valves where they weren't meant to take the stress and bad things can happen.
Have fun on your rebuild!
woman, you get your *** down here and bring that gasket... lol...
i still have some of dem chevy parts for you
Bat is telling me that the rocker studs are actually bolts, does this sound right to anyone? That obviously his problem, I think if he gets a set of studs on there he should be fine...
i think i found the issue, there was oil pooled in the bolt holes, got it all cleaned out now, im gonna go ahead and wash the bolts in locktite, adjust them, and see how it holds this time. then im gonna go ahead and try to do the exaust/intake gasket, that may also be the slight tick i get that wont go away with adjusting the valves
