I have everything off the motor, no plugs installed, have just been trying to build compression on cyl #1. It was the lowest (75 PSI).
I tried torquing to 14 ft lbs, 23 ft lbs, putting the ORIGINAL rockers & pushrods back on it, adjusting the angles so they were perfect, anything I could think of. It went from making 75 psi to making 0!!!
I put cyl #1 on the exhaust stroke and took off the intake rocker. The valve spring had about .200" lift built up in it I would say? This is on a closed valve.
My ONLY guess at this point is that I had it too loose and now the lifter is pumped up to max and needs to bleed off some oil. That's as far as I can guess... I don't even know how to pull one of the damn things out to check.
