Just an update....eliminating some things as possible causes...

Pulled the heads to look at things.... Heads look fine

Re-decked the pistons and came up about .005 over....had installed a .030 cosmetic on heads, so ordered a set of .040....piston to valve clearance seemed fine, but still

Also ground down some of the webbing under the rocker covers where it looked like the rockers were very close on the open strokes

Examined lifters.....perfect

Evl3020 has been shipped, so will update as mentioned

The 3020 would be ok with a .030 gasket if that's the road you take, also, which carb are you running ?
