Let me guess...when you changed your oil, you switched to a higher grade...like 20/50 or something. No? I did that once in my wife's car--put some 20/50 motorcycle oil in it, and it rocker-tapped like crazy until I changed it.

That's a negative on the oil. I am running 5W-30 in it.

I will try that out tomorrow, turbosha... I have to pull the lifters and rods and replace valve cover each try though, right? Or maybe just the rods.

Thanks a ton for all the help folks.
