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"

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?

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.

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

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