Makes since why you are having hesitation, that cylinder is not firing.
Either that or the thermostat housing is leaking down into it.
On a more positive note, I just found out a good friend of mine is the granddaughter of the founder of Comp Cams (a Memphis Company
). She's working on getting me a set of the XE270 or XE278 cams. If i have to pull the head off anyway, it would be a great time for some upgrades.
