mjb taught me a trick several years back that seems to work fairly well.
Let the engine cool down, pull the rocker cover. Clean out the joint
between the top of the head and the pushrod *really well*, with Brakleen
and a qtip. *Really clean*.
Then dribble green Loctite down it. The number keeps changing - it's the
stuff that is meant to lock fasteners that are already assembled,
and it creeps into the space between. Don't use too much, but be
sure to use enough, and be sure to get all the way around. Let the car
sit for an hour, better overnight...
