Last week I adjusted the valves, removed PCV baffle so the valve cover doesn't leak, Changed to a 4 or 7 lb. radiator cap to stop the head weeping, changed the thermostat to 180 degrees. Also, I think I found the right timing after doing the valves. Drove up feedlot hill and had some ping, so backed off timing and tried again, seems right now - no ping. May have a bad T-stat as it swings up and down (used 4# cap). New one on order. May be air in system. Put on 7# cap, may see improvement.
