I think I started this thing because the last tractor I did, a Super H, I first checked the compression-it was 118-120 on all cylinders, new compression is 130, I think, so the engine was not torn down. I did remove the head, had it hot tanked and had the valves ground, and removed the side plate that has the water jacket and flushed the calcium deposits out of the block as well as I could. I only glanced at the rocker arms, I did check the push rods. Put it back together and painted everything. When I started it I heard a noise (still there) from, as near as I could tell, the valve train area. Not real loud, maybe not even noticable to the casual observer, nothing really banging together, but I don't believe that noise was there before I had the head redone. Asked the machinist I saw today about it, he said it might be because the valve stems were not finished when the guy did the head, and I did nothing to the rockers--in other words, two different shaped surfaces rubbing together. I don't know if that's correct or not, but I didn't want that noise in this one thus the 25 questions. Thanks again for everyone's help.
