You have hit the preverbal needle on the head. I do not have the valve cover
tightened down. It is only resting of the three studs which hold it down. I
haven't' tightened it down, because after setting the lash cold I got
distracted with it not starting right up. I still need to check the lash hot,
then tighten everything up. I hope this corrects my problem.
Thanks.
