    yeah take the covers off first did it just all of a sudden start running like crap or did it progress?

    that will kind of tell you wut it is ........when valves stick they ussually just start running like crap (in my experiences)

    carbon build up it feels like youve got a slight miss or less power

    it all happen at the same time. My camshaft Lobes Slowly Died and cam was gone. and than the power Loss. so i changed My cam and Lifters. But its still running like Crap. i drived it a few times. untill i couldnt handle the Power Loss. So basiaclly i think im narrowed DOWN to my Valves? what do ya think?
