Potential causes...

Major valve float, piston meet valve head...

Valve guide tolerances too tight...

Hokey valve train geometry.

Coil bind.

Rotator contact onto valve guide.

Major guide plate misalignment..

Major hydraulic... Though that would be also apparent in the "other" rods as well...  :screwy:


Good luck.

Looks like valvetrain geometry was to blame.


FYI when drilling heads for studs, dont do it after you've consumed more beer than you are supposed to

Why are those tips so far apart?

As they get older, the tips point further downward and apart...looks natural to me.

Hahaha... Except in SoCal, they seem to get higher and tighter, which is why I asked... ;)

Gt. Its the only spot that would work without moving the swim steps. Or drilling through the double thick part of the transom

No Greg. Ended up ordering a brand new set from promaxx
Thank you for the referral though. He seemed straight up and prices were good.

Just decided to go aftermarket in the end. Hopefully less headaches
