Swapped out the guide plates, put in the restricted pushrods, got everything lined up nice and straight and readjusted the valves. It made a world of difference with the valve train noise I was hearing! I'd guess a bulk of it was probably from the rockers moving left to right with the pushrods. There was the start of a funny wear pattern on valve stems so I'm glad I got that fixed.

Once the rain lets up I'll get the hood finished up and take it out for a spin around the neighborhood.

PSA to make sure your pushrod guide plates are aligned because there sure is a lot of wiggle room left to right. Check out how far I could skew the rockers!
