You know there's a procedure to adjusting valves, right? ...setting certain pistons to TDC and adjusting certain intake and exhaust valves, right? Just checking.

You've checked the condition of the #1 and #4 plugs after it's been missing? So you're sure it's not coolant diluting the charge, right?

What if you replaced the camshaft, lifters, timing chain, and gaskets? Seems like it's a decent engine, if you've been towing with it. You could be done with it in a weekend perhaps. Then when you do your LS swap, you could sell it as a running engine. There's risk involved if you go through the effort and expense, and it's not issue though.
