It was obvious as soon as i lifted the cover, i usually check them after a few hundred k after a gasket change.
Glad it was something simple as i really wouldnt have been happy if the head had to come off again , running great now.

gotta roll the rods around when you do the adjustment... that ones caught more than a few. This is why I do a roll over and recheck before I button up the rocker cover.
