Root cause:
When I first bought the engine back in 09, I did a leakdown test on it, noticed that some of the valves were worn out of round, and sealed better in their happy spot. I did some messing around, had the followers in & out, closed it up and left it for later. I'm sure something was left for later and not as tight as it should be. Shame on me for passing up chances to fix old mistakes.
