So Ima resurrect this thread with an update. I apologize for not doing so sooner. As per the suggestions above, I pulled the valve cover. Valve clearances are perfect. While I was in there I replaced the CCT guides and added a manual tensioner to see if that made a difference. Still...

Just jumping in with a question that might help out OP. Is there an 'easy' way to do a comp test? When I considered doing one I was put off by how much stuff you have to remove. In fact, I couldn't really think of a way to do it without removing the radiator, unless there's a way of going from...
