Geez HH, I'm embarrased...twice! One for not performing a search as I usually do before posting and second for not seeing the picture that Ross was painting! It never dawned on me that the tube was supposed to extend all the way thru the port and that Ross's statement about never seeing one "breached" meant that he had never seen a hole burned all the way through it! Good grief, now I know why he said to hold a finger over it to see if I felt exhaust coming out of the end. Even though my car uses the later set-up, I assume the 5" tube had to be installed on all of the manifolds in order to seal the opening...I was hoping that the refusal of the valve to quieten down after adjusting was somehow linked to the tube being open but now thinking it must be a worn exhaust valve guide...dang it! Oh well, I'll check it when I get home.

Believe there was at least one other with a manifold tube open to exhaust situation. Check out Carl Madsens project blog and also this thread and see if anything looks the same or a similar fix would work.
