Pual I can’t believe your even saying that. I’m not going to get into it, its a waste if time, but a cam ground on a 114 changes the overlap, then compression comes into play.. so a cam on 114 with only 8.1 compression, is going to be a nightmare. especially if it has a ton of overlap. WOW! I’m not saying that is the issue obviously he’s had other issues. But if it is ground wrong it could be compounding the other issues. I mean let’s try to help the guy out instead of arguing over who is the cam genius

Dude the True cranking compression, wasn’t discovered until the other day. Which kind of Throws off the whole scenario. As more and more comes to light it changes The whole scenario. Carburetor issues valve judgment issues.

Yes and before that which he thinks was a fluke 175. I’m not gonna argue with you or get into a debate with you. We are finding out more and more things as a thread progresses.

Brian,
After he redid the valve adjustment he did a cranking compression test on the other 4 cylinders and got around 150 psi.

Leave it to me to interject fact into a good Internet thread. I agree, let's help the guy out. He's down a crap ton of horsepower.... Doesn't make sense to send him on a wild goose chase looking for eight.
