If I remember right, the V700 had single valve springs...later models had
dual springs...

Thanks to those of you who responded with suggestions. My gut is it's a
valve. The sleeved are stepped and therefore can't move. Piston
clearance is also correct so that pretty much leaves the valves.
Evidently there was a valve spring binding issue on the early V700's
which is what I have. It would seem like this would be RPM related
though, not load related.
Thanks again,
