yes the lash was bad on both the exhaust, slot to adjust moved almost 1/4 of a turn, on both cyclinders 1 and four. I just set lash on new method above. i set 1cyl first. ditsy at 1pm, i just turned cranck 180 degrees. to adjust what I thought was supposed to be cyl 3, but cyl 4 is @ tdc ditsy at 7pm, lash is good(i set this last night) , I will turn it another 180 and see where it lands. I will add to this post asap. i know what i was doing wrong now, I was watching the cam wheel and rotating it 180 degrees and that was turning the crank 360 degrees. so that puts it on me for not folling directions correctly. so now I will start over and do it right. at this point I have 3cyl tdc because I rotated crank 180 degrees and that put the cam E at 9pm. Sorry for my failure on this jerry. It makes sense to me know. i checked lash on it and the exhaust is also tight on 3cyl. i will post more later
Ok I have it in my head finally, I ran thru all of the cylinders again and set lash on all of them to .006 It is done, and right this time, haha. so now I will check compression, and I do have the compresion gauge that you showed above, it screws in to the spark hole with a rubber gasket.
Compression test was still bad I actually got 30 on the 1cyl haha, and 4cyl was the same. so it looks like there is some valve work in my future, or just a new head. guess I'll figure it out soon.
On another note the stainless steel down pipe i got off of ebay fit and lined up perfect with the stock exhaust manifold. here is the link http://www.ebay.com/itm/321030198059?ssP...1439.l2649 . I dont think I will have any problems with it lining up with the calimini that just got here. I'll figure that out later. Cheer s Bill
