Valve float?! Really?! 140-160

Kyle check all your pushrods and make sure they are all straight. I had a stock B20 in my '62 PV and I used to drive it pretty hard. It turns out one of the pushrods was slightly bent and it acted like a "primitive rev limiter" . If I revved it to high it would pop out of the valve adjuster and then of course it would run pretty ragged until I reseated the pushrod. This happened about three or four times before I had a chance to replace the offending pushrod. Good luck with your mini-movie.
