Surely a compression test would highlight any problems without pulling the head off??

Hi,
That's 10% down Nic. Maximum variation is 5%?
EDIT: You say new head, you've not fell victim of the guides too tight syndrome have you?
Cheers,
Gavin :)

Mines been fine since I opened the Manganese guides out. Yours sounds similar, runs fine for a while but when I gave it some stick it missed, then a min later it was fine. this came and went.

If you can get hold of a stethoscope and drive with it clamped to the rocker box its easy to hear the extra noise caused by the binding valves.

Right!

Enough is enough, its time to take the head off

Will there be obvious markings that the valves have been binding, or will i just have to hope that this was the problem with no evidence until its back together?

I did
They all went up by a fair bit, 180 psi or there abouts, i think no3 was still slightly low, but i cant quite remember the results now, but it seemed to tally up with what was there before
