As for the low compression,How is your valve clearance?
nik-
thats how i was doing the timing, so i guess that part is right.
as for the valves, i checked em all, and nothing is being held open, so i know the numbers arent low cuz of too-tight of a rocker, and if they're too loose, then it wont hurt anything for the time being...
thanks again.
