Car idles a bit rough. Its always had a tiny miss, but now its a definite, intermittent miss. Plugs look fine, though. a:f at idle is around 14.2:1, but cruising idle is normal 14.7:1.

Only thing I can think of is maybe it spit a cam follower out.

Is it making any noise from the front cover? When I rebuilt my engine, the follower's looked new, so I reused them, however I did replace the chain's and tensinor's. This is all at about 20K on the clock. I no you have a lot more miles then that.
