The Clevelands need to be really tight on the head bolts.

Thanks Doug,

I noticed when removing the head bolts that the rear seemed to require less torque to remove. I theorized that the motor was rebuilt and sent down the road never having had the head bolts retorqued.

Today I'm going to clean up the deck surface and attempt to check for warpage as suggested. I'll report back on that.

I'm interested in replacing the cam since I'm this far into it. should I consider going hydraulic roller? Does this require machining? Is there any oiling modification required or that I should be considering with the top off the engine?
