OK, thanks to all who recommended Gordan's site. I pulled the valve cover
and sure enough there is slack in the chain and the 'evil L" has some small
groves, but not anywhere close to falling apart.
As I understand it the fixes are:
1. shim the tensioner
2. user heavier oil (I will switch from 10-40 to 20-50)
3. make sure the anti drain back tube is in place or use a filter that has
that feature
4. shim the cam towers
Shiming the towers is what I have a question about. I had the head worked
on and it was shaved but I have no idea how much. Would it be safe to shim
the towers not knowing how thick the head is?
Appreciate any advice.
Thanks,
Ray
