Will do.
I've had the injectors unplugged while I've been diagnosing the spark, but I have a feeling it's all in the valve settings now.
I had 2 of the plugs out, 1 & 3 while cranking to check for valve positions and the spark is VERY strong. It was consistent pattern firing and there was no abnormal sparking. Plus I have the iridium msd plugs so that might help too.
I'll loosen off the remaining valves after work, change the oil, spit a bit of oil down the cylinders and then give a quick compression test on a few cylinders, then try and fire it up.
I was under the impression from everything I've read that the valve adjustment on hydraulic rollers is easier because you can clock them half a turn more after they catch and the hydraulics will pick up the slack/auto-adjust to the right height, but I don't think that was the case with mine.
Anyway, we'll see.
