O.k., so a problem has , as they say "manifested itself", wound it out pretty good leaving my driveway, 4500, resulted in a buncha backfires followed by noise, I turned around and slowly drove it back to the garage, noticing that it really wasnt running any different, same skip. noise was coming from #1 side so I pulled the valve cover finding an obvious problem, the pushrod on the very first valve was pushed right thru the rocker.
giving the history of consistant issues with the #1 cylinder what do you think is the cause, Ive had the cover off and have a video of that side running and there alway seemed to be oil shooting out of it
