That's what I was afraid of.
The good news is that I'm living at Pappaw's house now, and there's an iron beam with a chain for engine pulling (since if I'm going this far into it, I may as well pull it and have everything inspected)

The bad news is that the car is at Mom and Dad's. I'll pull the over valve cover tomorrow and have a look I guess.

Not surprising, but still a bummer.

Don't be yanking it out until you know what the issue is. It's much easier to do running checks with it installed than on a stand.

I meant if it does end up being a dead cam lobe, then it's getting pulled.
