Don - I do have a steth, and I checked the lifters with it. It seemed to be coming from the intake at #1 but hard to be certain. I'll double check the fuel pump. My other thought is may exhaust gasket leak, but I'm not sure how to test for that.

TxGoat - If we add Marvel to fresh oil, does the oil need to be changed soon thereafter, or is it good for the life of the oil change?

I put Marvel in the fresh fuel that I put in the tank. 5 gallons of non-ethanol gas plus a few ounces of MMO. I'm hopeful that this and running the engine will be enough to clean up the valves and allow them to move freely.
