The machine shop found 3 bent valves. I found a worn center main bearing and crank journal. Everything else looked ok.
With a little more valve spring pressure, and some new ceramic lifters from LN Engineering, I should have a better margin for error. And with a fresh crank, polished and balanced I should be able to finish the season. Attached image(s)
