attend to it immediately. If one breaks lose it will destroy the cam in short order at the very least.

Found out why my valve train was making more noise
than usual, even after adjusting valves. The
stainless steel pads on two intake valves have
slightly separated. Can tell by rotating cam
as if to set valves, I press on the rocker and
you can see oil seep out between the pad and the
rocker.

The Question: How long can I leave this, and can
I take the car to the track? What's the worst
case senario? Thanks. FCS
