Yes I did see that’s it says late valve timing?
So that pretty much says the valves are not
Lifting when they should?

I’ve been researching and now I’m starting to hope that my camshafts lobes are not worn the heck out.

So far I already have the new radiator, water pump, and 196 thermostats in and she still idles at 180-200 even though it isn’t running right.

I’m going to pull the valve covers next and try to get it running again and adjust the valves.

Turn till the clicking goes away and then 1/4-1/2 turn on each one correct?
