Hi all,
I have completed all of the electrical and fuel diagnostics as per Bentley
and advice from this source and everything checks out OK.
Zip tied the broken Hall sender unit to the distributor and it seems solid
(new unit is in transit).
Did a compression test today and have the two cylinders at the rear within
accepted range (127 and 140), but cannot get anything on the front two
cylinders (both read zero). I am guessing that I have found my 'issue'.
Pulled the head cover on the passenger side and found one valve 'out of
sorts'. Attached a photo but wouldn't load. Basically, one spring is pushed
out and appears to be worn down between the adjuster and the valve.
Adjuster and spring seem OK. Can forward photo to individual email
addresses if that helps.
Any thoughts/guidance would, once again, be appreciated. I am pretty much
pushing my mechanical envelope at this point, but I will continue to read
online and try what the group suggests. Baring that, it goes to a
professional mechanic in the spring. She goes into storage today.
Thanks in advance,
Mark
