Well, been trying all sorts of stuff to no avail. Liquid wrench, PBlaster, Kroil. So I pulled the valve covers today and found lots of rust in the heads. Rocker arms, push rods. So I think I am gonna have to pull it and either do a rebuild or get a different motor. It's a 454 and I get a different motor I think I would just go with a 350. Kind of torn on what I should do. The bus is a shorty and originally came with an inline 6, but I want to be able to get out of my own way. What do you think???
