Great. I have that symptom, looks like I have a tear down to do. Thanks.
Check the silly stuff first. Accessories, idler pulley bearings gauge accuracy, etc before getting in a panic.

yeah I'm thinking going to bite bullet and get it cleaned and magna fluxed if it checks out good then have em bore it 10 over replace the internals balance them, and know I have a bullet proof long block , will probably port and polish head and do a valve job not looking for more hp just figured might be better on gas economy having good breathing:) also thinking of replacing push in valve studs for screw ins so maybe it will be quieter on the lifters, would love to go full roller on it but I dont think they make those kinds of parts for a lil 3.0 , do love this engine though.
