You are right about timing though Frank. It is possible.

I'm sticking with valve issue.
(Just so it's clear, that's a non-specific claim..... ANY issue found with valves is my bet. Not just "out of adjustment"...)

I think since the stakes on this bet are so high I'm going to ask for more than just valves.
Since it was just rebuilt I'm going with not enough stem to guide clearance, maybe the reamer they use had reamed too many guides and was worn.
It's just a guess though. And I'm usually wrong!
