trailerman; I was starting to have some valvetrain noise on both of my mods,
I used the seafoam in the oil & in the gas tank & of course in the vacuume line
the oil poured out like it was crude oil not synthetic mobil one 5-30, I also
switched to a higher detergent oil with a better over all package for wear
soot control & most importantly burn off control [shell rotella t 5-40 synthetic]. Try some of these things & that will help in this area.
