Ok,
I think I left this at the point where I belived that the valve timing
was off - and that may be the cause of my low compression in one cylinder.
I was out there tonight and found the following. I made a homade leak
down tester - checked the dead cylinder against another cylinder and found
that it was no different. Did another compression test on the 'dead'
cylinder and two others - all three were at 90 psi - what the heck? -
These used to be at 120psi - athough I did this test cold I thought it
would at least show close? Anyway, I guess I'm going to put this thing
back together and see what happens. I re-adjusted the valve timing and I
changed the passenger side header gaskets/o-rings. (I think I had one
leaking - which could have caused the 02 code) I will report back again
when I get it together. Thanks for listening one more time.
Jason
