Anyhow; Isn't what David Y. is explaining here (valves going so far out of
adjustment so quickly) a scenario that one would see when the head studs are
slowly pulling out of the block?

The #1/#2 head hasn't been pulled or inspected so far, so this is a possibility, but the studs were tight on the #3/#4 side where the pushrod bent (and then torqued correctly when the head was put back on... and the problem persist) so I assume the pulling would then be happening on both sides. I dropped it off today and work begins tomorrow AM, so I'll call and ask them to double check this first.

David Y.; do you have case savers installed in this block?

I can't imagine the builder doesn't religiously use them, but I'm not %100 sure. I'll add that to tomorrow's "to do" checklist. Thanks!
