"If it was my car, I'd put a good valve spring on it and get the jetting spread under control. I'd put a set of beehives on it, set to ~.060-.080 of coil bind and see what it does.

The rockers were likely giving you problems because they were getting the snot kicked out of them because your valve springs were weak.

The cam in the engine is OK and you don't need a tear down to do the valve springs."

I'd second this approach for the reasons mentioned.

...to save a few $$, if you choose to buy COMP beehives, look for Trick Flows springs with the same part number (different prefix)...they're the same spring made by the same supplier, but with less overhead, so they're cheaper.

Ex: Comp beehive springs from summit 26915-16 $176
TFS beehives from summit 16915-16 $125

Same spring, same rates, same part...just cheaper. Not saying those are the ones to buy--just an example.
