Ok - so in between the monsoon today I was able to pull the right valve cover and watch the rockers. #6 push rods and rocker arms were moving but not opening and closing the valves.

I adjusted all the valves hot - running and it seems to be idling much smoother. #6 now appears to be functioning. Have not adjusted the left side yet do to the rain - but all the prior valve train noise seemed to becoming form the right side.

Is it possible the lobe on #6 is wiped and this really didn't accomplish anything? #6 was the cylinder with the gap closed on the spark plus in the pic.
