Have fun on your rebuild!

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
