Ok. So I have my engine out and decided to take one head off and check some things out. Everything looked great!
While the one head was off I checked valve lash on the opposite side. It was about .012".
When I put the other head back on and the valve train back together it went back to around .006".
I adjusted all the valves to the .006" @ TDC, but noticed the valve lash will become larger (up to .009") when I check it at different spots through out the cam rotation.
It seems to be related to the load from the valve springs on the opposite side of the cam from where I am measuring.

Is this normal? Is this because of worn cam bearings? Something else?

Any thoughts would be great.

Thanks, Dave
