...well, the path of least resistance wins again - my last post about Silvia said she had too much valve slop discovered during a routine valve adjustment. Thank goodness for 2nd opinions. I had the good fortune to befriend a local diesel mechanic who was so intrigued with my plight that he made a house call. Long story short, yes, there is some valve slop on #2 exhaust valve, but not out of reason for 285k mi. He put the wrenches in the right places, got the valve train adjusted to spec and we're driving again. 6 weeks of angst worrying about a head job and the only head job I got was 6 weeks of needless worry.
Thanks to everyone for your comments and offers of help/support - over and out for now....
