Wonder if the excessive heat could have let a stud wuggle up a little bit (assuming they are pressed in). For the heck of it, it would cost nothing but a little time to yank off a valve cover and adjust the valves really quick.
Find a buddy to assist if you've never done it yourself...
Although, if the valve was far enough out of adjustement, you'd normally hear it at idle as well.
Couldn't hurt!!
Keep us tuned in!!

Paul, that sounds like a pretty good idea. I'll try to do that next weekend. Seems like there's no time for anything during the week.
Thanks.
