I did put a long screwdriver to my ear today all around the valve cover, the intake manifold and the header tubes and honestly, it sounded better inside the engine than outside. It also sounded even everywhere I poked at it.

I'm not crazy in thinking a header gasket leak would sound the same as RPM's go up, right?

Mechanical fuel pump, hmm. I'll take a listen in that area. Wouldn't that be a nice easy fix!
