I just wanted to add to pull all your lash adjusters when you yank the cams and bleed them down to verify you have no collapsed adjusters and no lash adjusters that stay rock hard.

Having collapsed or rock hard adjusters are going to screw up valve seal and cam performance as well so its something to look at.

For reference I have about 12 adjusters left to check on my brothers motor and so far 3 have been collasped and 2 hard as rocks and won't bleed down... those are going in the garbage can.

Something to look at.
