Didn't notice anything unusual inside the airbox. I'll take a closer look at it tomorrow.

I'm leaning more towards finishing the valves/belts and buttoning it back up.

If I find flaky closing rockers that warrant removing the heads, I'll probably take a closer look at the guides/seals. The seals look fine thus far.

Shouldn't there be some oil on the valves and cams?

Yes, but he's concerned about oil below the guides in the intake port.

Shouldn't have to take the heads off to replace a closing rocker. Pull the cam cover, cam, and then pull the push pin and the rocker comes out. Now getting the closer spring back on may be a PIA, but it's doesn't require head removal.

I'm well aware. Having to replace the vertical exhaust closers last time around was reason enough for me to say I'm yanking the heads if I have to do this again.

I'll cross that bridge when I get there.

Valves adjusted and only one flaky opener replaced. I visually inspected all of the valve seals and they looked fine.

I'm just going to button everything up and ride.

Good call IMO
