The amount of lash was about 1/8", and must have been on the low part of the cam because the exhaust valve for cyl 8 was open.

I just rotated the engine one click, and the rod came up and opened the intake valve. I don't know if it opened it fully but I just mean it put the rod under a load. All the other rods are still tight. I rotated it a bit more and it closed that valve and the same rod is loose.

I will check the oil, I guess if I took off the intake I could get a good view of the lifter.
