Good news.... I was playing with car the other night and discovered that if I pressured the cylinder with my air compressor and then ran a...
If nothing else is an excuse for a new tool.
You convinced me, time to go to harbor freight. Can a spring go bad without being broke? It doesn't appear bad. I do notice when I snack the...
This is the weird thing we turned car over and got 80psi, next attempt 30 then nothing. I removed rockers completely and tried and got 30psi,...
This car sat in previous owners garage untouched for 8 years and was running some really crappy gas. There were two bent pushrods, they were...

I am more confused now. I tried changing to non HO firing order and car would not even start. The really odd thing is pulled off MAP while car...

I am using 13726548. If it was standard firing order would it even run? I believe injectors are gray with orange tops but I will verify tonight.
