Are you going to just lap in a new valve?

There is merit to a rocker follower system. You can even get better ramp rates with multiplied leverage. Easy lash setting.

Roller options.

At least the lifters are massive, enabling some good hydraulic cam ramp rates.

Yep, no rockers on M62. I think they have them on the next version N62. I think I am just going to replace the lifters at this point and see what happens. It's very tempting right now to replace the head. I'd try that if I could find a new one but it's risky to replace it with another used one (I see some used ones on eBay for $200 or so) which may cause similar issues quickly.



Thanks,
