    Here is video after valve adjustment....top end noise lessened but still tapping for sure. Also, engine not running as smooth as it used to....a little sluggish on idle every 30 sec. or so.

    Push rod not clogged....so I guess I'll drain and look for metal, probably also pull intake and check tappet, pull pan and check #8 bearing as well to make sure it's not spinning. Need to re-seal everything anyway. Bah humbug....this is why we like old cars, right
