I wish I had checked compression first. It would have saved a lot of money. Compression on every cylinder is hitting at 80 lbs. I am guessing verified by a mechanic friend that it has jumped time by a notch or 2. That would cause the valves to open as the compression is building meaning loss of pressure not firing properly and so forth. Next weekend I am changing the timing chain and gears and hopefully that will fix it. Give me your feedback and let me know what you think.
Ok. My original problem was a bad miss. Would bad rings cause a miss or just loss of power? I don't want to get sidetracked by other issues until I fins the miss. I followed the loss of compression thinking it might be out of time but since it's in time thats nor it. Any other ideas?
