Never did any work to the top end to fix the issue, the next valve job is due in 1,500 miles or so, I can report back with the results form that just for the sake of providing additional information. I don't know when I'll be doing that service though, could be a while. My wife hasn't developed an iron butt yet and with our first snowfall happening today, it's probably going to be mostly parked for the next 6 months.
