the root , my guess is in the head.
the root of that my guess is the CVCC valve there, is no good. how or why? takes, looking at it, and measuring play(Clearances) there, per the FSM. and missing parts there, or damaged seals, and rings/gaskets there.
it's not spark. sorry,....
it could just as well be the main intake valve bad. (guide)
when i do heads, the head shop does this. including pressure checks, and for guide wear, and any possibilities of ice damage inside or warping,
i can not do heads, i let machine shops do that magic, we did this in school but we had a full shop there for that. (lots of steps.....)
I only know how to send it to the pro shop and let them make it like new, (ive seen most the ways they fail, but most i cant fix nor even detect (hidden cracks where eye cant touch)
if a rebuilt head is too much, get a good SI head. If i lived in PR, (wish i could) id have an SI head, that way locals could fix it....
see?
it's best to have technology that locals can fix. (simple heads win)
the problem is dealing with heads that have unobtainium level parts.
best is to avoid them, unless car is hanger queen, or classic show car, (non daily drivers)
this is what you don't want to own, in most cases..... i just sold one.... happy feet..... now 1 more.... a 1966, is next....

probably the best cars are 1995. (not too old and not chock-a-block full of computers, ABS< Bags, and expensive system hard to fix or vastly expensive parts....)
