All, 

Here's a mystery. Car was running fine, started running like crap, the cause: 
one of the lashpads decided to excuse itself from the head, and migrate down 
through the timing chain to the bottom of the oil pan where it sat, uninjured. 
Now the mystery: why would lashpad want to run away from home? Has anyone 
else had this problem?

Now running, on all 4 cylinders again.
