William,

I went to check the timing tonight. I pulled the valve covers and saw huge clearances in the valves. Got my feeler gages out and measured .025"-.030" gap on all 4 valves. This was checked with each cylinder at TDC on the compression stroke. I also found one rocker arm pivot very loose. Checked the timing and it seemed fine. I adjusted the valves per your instructions then checked to see that the intake runners were not loose. They were snug. I see no wear on any of the valve train componenets. Is it possible the clearances were set loose like that at the factory??

Thanks again!

Bob
