I'm thinking thvalve should drop from it's own weight , so the guide is definitely tight......that dimension shrinks up as the motor builds heat.
Whether it is too tight or not I don't know.
Or whether it would sound like that or not.
I think I'd be pulling the heads.




Hmm...ok.


I'll check a set of stock magnum heads with 70K miles on them that I have here, and see how they feel so I have something to compare to, see if the valve falls through on it's own.

I think at this point, I'm going to finish trying to open up the pushrod guide plates so they don't rub, and run it, if it's still squeeks, then I'll pull the motor out, pull the heads and take them in for guide work, then pull the crank out and do the cam bearings, and then put it back together again.

I hate re-work!
