    I certainly would not discount that as a possibility... It certainly would be a helluva lot easier to fix.
    So do you fellers think that since the sound seems localized on the passenger side of the block that it would be the A/C tensioner system roller? This really does make sense when you take into account the fact that the sound was most prevalent at the front-most valve cover bolts, and none of the other VC bolts. It would also explain the "squeaky wheel" sound (kinda like the sound Sherman tank tracks make). --I am going to run with this idea--barring any earth-shattering evidence to the contrary.
    Thank you very much. It is nice to see familiar names on the ol' forum after such a long absence--really thank you! It may take me some time; but I will report my findings...
