i pulled the rocker shaft, but i could not see any problems. i reinstalled the shaft, and restarted the engine with no noise. after the engine warmed up, the noise moved to the next cylnder back, but was much less intense. A test drive about an hour later, and it ran perfectly with no noise.

i have oil pan gaskets on order from kanter, and i will be droping the pan as soon as I can. i think the detergent motor oil has loosened up sludge in the pan thats getting pumped up and clogging the lifters.
