Ok, since I did all that work this past weekend I thought I'd be "golden" for a few weeks. Wow was I wrong. I changed the rocker assembly, and set the lash adjustment to 0.015" on all valves. While the valve clatter has been significantly reduced, I have a new problem that popped up. First, I should point out that while I was removing the old rocker assy I broke the T-fitting on the vacuum lines running between the carb, vacuum advance, and the EGR valve. I didn't think it a major problem at the time and just connected the vacuum advance directly to the carb effectively by-passing the EGR valve. However, ever since then the 'B has been running or at least acting like it's running lean. Complete with all the symptoms of leaness: "splashy" exhaust sound, uneven idle, and lots of stumbling under acceloration from idle. I'm pretty sure none of the other vacuum lines broke, but I should still check just to be sure I guess. I'm planning on stopping off at a local parts store to pick up new vacuum lines and fittings tonight.
The current status is with the carb set to full fuel richness it still behaves "lean". The last time I had this problem changing the plug wires fixed it, but these wires are practically new still. I'll have to double check them to make sure I got them all fully seated to on the plugs and didn't disconnect any of them on the other end.
I should also probably double check my Gulp Valve to make sure it's not stuck open again. Can anyone think of anything else that make an engine act lean all the time, and I should probably check while I'm at it?
thanks
