This thing runs perfect. It started this right after the head was pulled. I bought a aftermarket head gasket. I've even wondered if maybe it was thicker than the original.
I assume I messed up a lifter or pushrod when I didn't get them in right or just mixed up the pushrods but from what I read they are the same length for the front cylinder on a 1700

I did the roll the pushrod on a plate of glass trick to see if it was bent. Next time I have it out I'll chuck it in my lathe and run the indicator over it to see if its straight.
