As for the results, cylinder 2's intake was at 20 thousandths, cylinder 4's intake was at 20 thousandths and cylinder 8's intake was at 30 thousandths (lash should have been 16). Every other rocker on both sides were within 1 or 2 thousandths of where I set them.

No sign of any wear on the ball or cup, adjuster nuts all took muscle to break loose. I don't get it.
What does suck is the piston faces of almost all the cylinders look wet and black. Curious to see what the leakdown says.
