I believe I have found the problem. Checked the compression with my thumb
over the spark plug hole and found one cylinder that I could feel the vacuum
on the intake, but nothing on the compression stroke back up. I decided to
pull the head and after a few hours had the head off and there is a bent
intake valve that could never close. So now to find a replacement valve and
either fix it or have it replaced at the machine shop where I had the engine
machining done.
Pulling heads off two different cars in one week. Oh what fun. My daily
driver Toyota Supra blew a head gasket last week and I planned to pull it
over the holiday.
If I get it to Lexington, my engine may look at little dirty since getting
it running is my first priority.
