Well, after a few cups of coffee, 5 advil's and another sip of my
leftover R&C (to take the edge off of the headache.) I managed to stumble
outside and pull the valve cover off the Roc.

I checked the clearance on the valves, everything checked OK except for
the #3 exhaust valve. Its got a ton of clearance. Looking closely at the
cam and I can see its flattened the lobe! Never had that happen before.
Well, lucky for me ive got a ton of cams sitting here. Now, which
one..... enie meeny miny.....
I'll install it later, I need to rest.

Thanks for the info Iain.
