Are you sure you have oil pressure and adequate oil flow? Valves don't just get loose unless there is some major wear.

And nice job for the information during the rebuild. Did yhe bottom of the jug by chance have the 2 holes? It appears that in your first several posts, the photo of the top of the jug has the holes and you can see blow by where the gasket didnt cover them properly causing exhaust tk escape and oil to stain the front of the jug. I noticed the NEW jug does not have those holes... any thoughts?

The holes in the old jug are blanks. They go nowhere.
There is a formation that looks like it could have been utilized with those holes but it's completely unmachined.

I'm pretty sure I had to readjust because I used generic gasket sealer instead of suzuki-bond between the head upper and lower half.

I'll know more shortly.

I'm thinking I should have just used GENUINE SUZUKI PARTS.

I don't believe this ish!
Cold start today and motor sounds ok.
Not great but ok.
I'm gonna recheck lash and change the oil and run with it a little longer.

I think you are chasing symptoms. Everything so far including the initial dumping oil don't point too a cylinder problem. I would verify oil pressure and flow unless you like chasing your tail.

If I remember from a previous post you recently did the clutch, The oil pump is driven off of a gear on the carrier for the clutch plates. did something get disturbed when you were in there working on the clutch?

Clutch was several thousand miles ago. If I had messed up the pump then it should siezed thousands of miles ago.
Each time I tear down the motor I have lots of oil in the journals and cavities under the camshaft. Even if I only run it a short while.
Even after a 15 second run I just did I have oil dripping from atop the valve springs.

Little more work and test drive.

I do have 2 unusual few economy checks after engine build. However.... They are so high I don't see how they could be accurate so I'm gonna run yet another mpg test.

Old motor was nearly rock solid 68 mpg.

Noise isn't getting worse and goes away with fully warmed motor.
Valve noise is gone after yesterday adjustment.

Sounds like things are moving in the right direction. I will keep my fingers crossed for you.
