Do you still get it when the engine has reached temperature ?
Not saying it is likely to be the head gasket but for peice of mind it's always worth doing the basic checks if you are experiencing this- Leave it running for a while and check your water level before and after. Compression test all cylinders to ensure 2 and 3 are similar to 1 & 4.

I haven't got the coolant system completed yet so I can't let it run up to temp properly at the moment. It's had a new head gasket awhile back so I'm hoping that's not the problem... I'll have to get ahold of a compression testing gauge then and see what that shows. Thanks for the advice

Sounds like a worn valve not seating properly.

CVH has hydraulic lifters I believe, if its been sat it might just need to run for a while at full temp.

Did you have the head to bits when you did the head gasket, cos I do tend to agree with Phil that it does sound like poor seating valves

Nope I only renewed the gaskets and gave it a good clean. If it is the valve causing the problem, will it need completely replaced or just adjusting the clearance sort it?
