Thanks Larry. I'm sure you nailed it with the heat tube That's the only thing that makes sense.
Ii'm think that my lifters oil supply is in question.I was ready with shop towels to sop up the oil with the covers off. I was surprised how little oil I saw. Whole area is clean and dry.
I've used a stethoscope to listen at the tining chain cover and it's omparatively quiet so I think I'm OK there.
