Also, if you attempt a bunch of fixes not relevant to the problem, then you should expect the code to come back. Been a few more weeks. Still no code...
I appreciate what you found even more now. I'd been code free for about 2 months and 1500 miles and it finally came back yesterday. SO it looks like i'll be pulling the covers soon to look at the rocker arms...
Do you have a lifter tick? Not sure I would pull a valve cover unless there is a tick. It was VERY obvious long before things got bad enough to set a code.
