Thanks for the replies, I ended up trailering to Don @Slowhawk. We found the problem, but I am to embarrased to share it.

Sorry,nothing major but since the engine is pretty tight in there he has to pull it out to fix the problem..I'll leave it up to the owner to tell.It is something I've seen a few times before.
