    Could be a bent or sticking valve. Some aircraft engines have issues with sticking valves.

    Glenn is 'da man'... Thanks... I really appreciate it.

    I may not need them, but I wouldn't have time to get some and re-dyno if this engine makes more than 260.

    I am in .... I am in.... I think I am about ready to declare it completed.

    The dayum master disconnect freaking broke again... so I have one on order and think that is about it to call it complete.

    Before or after the dyno? Those cars do weird things when the power goes south.
