One thought previously mentioned was a failing spring causing valve float. I've looked at the springs, even rolled the motor over a few times with the starter while the valve covers were off. I have a spring compressor coming from summit so I can disassemble the valve train to closer inspect the springs. Will a damaged but not broken spring be readily apparent or is there an easy way to test them?
