I have my head off, and I am looking at it trying to determine if I wanna repair the spark plug threads, and I noticed that lash adjuster #4 on the exhaust side is really tight in its bore. I mean, I had to fight for about 30 minutes to get it out. It is tight from about half its height all the way in. So I can get it halfway in or out, but if I push it in further, it is really hard to push in or get out. Should I try to hone the bore out?
I checked, and this bore is tight on any lash adjuster I try, and the lash adjuster from #4 exhaust is fine in the other bores, so I don't think the lash adjuster is the problem.
Just for reference, I bought this car with a blown head gasket, so I had the head milled about 2 yrs ago. Wouldn't be surprised if the rest of the head itself has a small warp. Very leaky cam towers no matter what I did.
Thanks
