Regardless I am definitely switching the nuts out today! I had to swap the valley pan after break in and had a chance to check the cam and there were no wiped lobes or abnormal wear, thank god. I have also been using the car as a daily for the past year or so, which narrows down other potential problems it might have, but this is a really good starting point (hopefully the only problem)!

Thanks for all the input and ill report back with updates after the new rocker nuts.

175 psi sounds very high for that cam and 8.0:1 CR. Was this test hot or cold?
