Help with Timing, Vacuum and Backfire - 289c.i.

[Phillyfanfrombirth]

The compression test would look normal if the lifters were compressed from a lack of oil pressure. It is a mistake that I've made in the past, I would tighten them and let it sit overnight to find that they were loose again in the morning... then I would tighten them again.

It really sounds like something is wrong with the valves or the valve timing. Since you are sure that the timing is correct, and there is no compression issuethat would be my next move.

CAFTA will surely be mutually beneficial... if the region can get some political stability, it could truly be a long term economic expansion. There are a number of South American companies that do business with our stock exchange... Banco Bradesco was one of my favorites... but they've done extremely well over the past year or so.
