Fresh. Roller didnt come with a tank so i bought one from another member. Drained and cleaned, and threw 5 gallons of Sunoco 93 in before first crank.

We're dying over here!!

LS1ow 11-07-2017 11:21 AM

So heres the results.

Using a SnapOn compression tester, cranked the motor for 4 "jumps" of the gauge as per instructions. Fuel pump off and coil packs unplugged, so no fuel or spark. Cold engine obviously.

1- 95
3- 98
5-100
7-98

2-87
4-85
6-90
8-98

yeahhhh lmao

Im thinking is possible the pushrods i have are too long. I have 7.4" in the car now, i know i measured out a little bit shorter than 7.4", but i do remember what it was off the top of my head/why i ended up going w. 7.4"

PolarBear 11-07-2017 11:33 AM

Yeah, those are really low, just for testing maybe try backing the rocker bolts off a turn or two and see if the compression comes up?

None, heads are untouched TBSS 243s. Just cleaned and new springs.

I'd try what polarbear says; back the rockers off 1-2 turns and test again. If they're still low, then either:

A: The cam is ground wrong and the valve timing is *way* off or, more likely:

2: The cam timing is fubar'd due to timing chain being off on install.

LTb1ow 11-07-2017 11:51 AM

Oh you.

Trollin' us all along, you have a big ole snail for this don't you????

im still not completely off the timing thing either. However earlier pics show the Cam sprocket at 6 O'clock after assembly. But i cant see the crank sprocket so who knows.

today we should have final results, didn't get to it at all yesterday bc my jeep wanted to join the not running correct party. Turned out it just needed a new coil rail.

heres whats planned for the day in order

1. Pull timing cover and check timing, if that is all good then move on.

2. Push-rod Length, im thinking these should be good. but it doesnt take long do check so may as well.

3. Leak down test

PolarBear 11-08-2017 12:19 PM

Come on man, quit your job if necessary, just get it done!

MDSheds_SS 11-09-2017 06:55 AM

Is it alive yet??

LS1ow 11-09-2017 06:37 PM

Not alive yet.

Pulled the Crank pulley and timing cover, time marks are lined up.

IROCZman15 11-10-2017 07:30 AM

Did you degree the cam? It wouldn't be the first time a camshaft was ground wrong.
