The varnish dposits on the top end look an awful lot like my Daughters old 77 Toyota Celica's 20R engine did.
The guy I bought it from said his wife had used it to drive 80 miles round trip a day, highway @ 55-60 mph. He had been running Pennzoil straight 30 weight.
Well, you've poured in just about every concoction on the market, trying to fix an intermittent valve tic, that turned out to be a mechanical problem with a valve cover oil baffle/splash shield & that was a good find, but looks like all the pour in's haven't touched the varnish so far.
Don't believe I'd remove the slpash shield, it's there for a reason!!!
Maybe consider having it spot welded back, by a good welding shop.
Will be interesting to see what effect, if any, the Auto Rx has on the varnish deposits & the compression numbers .
Seems to me, the oil & it's add pack, the engine's had over the years, hasn't been up to the task this engine requires.
All that varnish won't help the top end run cooler either.

pawpaw:
I'm so happy that tick is gone, kinda like a kid at Christmas! LOL.
with the splash shield, you can't tell or even see where it's loose, you can hear it on the other side...weird.
i actually did think about taking it out becuase there's only about one quarter inch between that and the actual valve cover....which isn't your typical cheap stamped Al ....would cost $$$
