No not yet I get off at830 so il pop it off when I get home. After thinking today I would have heard some noise from the valve train... I'm leaning toward a head gasket it's not smoking and isn't splattering oil up either. I think that meens it isn't piston rings or piston. The valves only have maybe 7000 miles and they don't normal go bad... I'm pulling that cover off tonight if spring looks good il pull off the head and take a look at the head gasket.. I am running a .040 gasket to get my quench up, have u guys heard of these thin gaskets going bad fast?
