OK... more clearity. When you unbolt the rocker shafts the blocks slide to eather side and tighten the end play on one rocker and loosen it on the other somewhat... remember there are no springy washers in there. The setup is poor... and doent hold adjustment well as far as end play is concerned. Im looking at the mating of the cylinder and head at the bottom with a flashlight, I havent had the heads off but if there were blowby (at least this much) id see some carbon and dripping.
