Had this problem on a 350 sbc. I had adjusted the rocker arm nut too tight. I went a half of turn after I could feel no play in the pushrod. Talked to my neighbor who runs a bbc in his stock car. He said never go over a quarter turn. The valve was being held open. Readjusted the roccker arms and the problem went away.
I also heard the lean theory but that wasn't the case on mine although it does happen like Firechicken said.Last edited by toolow 69C10; 03-28-2004 at 07:45 PM.

Thanks guys! It's been a long road. Fun doing finishing work for sure. Getting the dash ready for paint and some interior trim. Have to do some finish work on the aluminum headliner before...
