Well if it jumps enough teeth and bends some valves, THEN it will be zero

im not sure if its an interference motor or not stock, i dont think so though, .200 in the hole, .021 thick head gasket, valves are at least another .200 if not more. stock cam lift is something like .421 before lash if i remember LOL

After taking a real close look and putting a straight edge over the valves i noticed that the valves are not level at all and also the oil seals are mostly all broken into pieces. most have drie rotted over time. So that's the culprit. Thanks guys for helping narrow it down with the fun of online diagnosis. Question is what do i do now. I guess i will start at the junk yards.

dont be surprised by the seals being gone

now is a great time to have the head milled .090, enginebuilder 1.7/1.44 valves installed and blended, also install some new BB mopar valve springs.

Pull the head, check everything out (bores, pistons and rust) and have the head rebuilt if everything else looks good.

Keep in mind engines you buy at the junk yards are also old unless it has been rebuilt.

been there done that! bought a PNP motor and had 2 spun rods! learned my lesson!
