Turns out, the engine problems are worse than just altitude. All of the valves were incredibly loose and two of the pushrods got eaten. We've replaced the two pushrods and tightened the rest. It seems to be running mostly ok at the moment but we don't know if it will stay together.
Today we are in a nice big city with resources like trains, cellular service, and airports. Tomorrow we leave for 5 days in the desert with no resources at all. I'm not sure I want to leave the city with a possibly buggered engine. We are thinking of coming home early.
