I guess I'll do a valve adjustment job once I'm halfway there. Will a feelers gauge from autozone do the job?

Not sure if this is helpful to you, I have watched the videos you've posted but it's hard for me to hear what is going on or where the sound is emanating from.

Thanks! Although I think my noise originates from the head, I can't be sure, and my clutch was recently replaced and this is when the rattle started to occur.

Since I am already committed to doing a valve job, I will try it first and go from there.

Allright adjust my valves today, set them to dead .004" - but they weren't out of spec to begin with, i could slide .005" in there but not .006", so they were right on the money.

I noticed that the intake rocker arms have quite a bit of play, but exhaust rocker arms did not have any. Is this normal?

Also, I stripped one of the main valve cover bolts, the really deep one with a rubber washer. Any idea what to do? I don't think I can rethread it without removing the head.

"I noticed that the intake rocker arms have quite a bit of play, but exhaust rocker arms did not have any. Is this normal?"

What kind of play, side-to-side or up & down? There are wave-washers installed on the right-hand side of each rocker. You should be able to push it toward the right and it should return back toward the left on its own.

"I don't think I can rethread it without removing the head."

Correct

Knowledge is power.
