I agree everything points to the valves and of course valve adjustment is my weakest skill.
However If anything leaks on the head gasket (like the coolant leak I had or the oil that leaked on it durn the valve adjustment it bubbles like air is escaping. I woudl think this needs to be addressed.
Where can I find information on the drilling of the block for hydraulics? I know he siad he does this all the time but he could have made a mistake.
The block numbers indicate it si a 1954 235. I don't kno w where to find any further information.
Replacing the cam is not fun but might be the easiest solution since I did not want hydraulics to begin with.
Thoughts?
