Cool video 😎

[@dhammiam]

Thanks 😁 I've got a couple more to go with it I just have to finish putting together. They're showing how to do a leakdown and compression test

[@staffordsanpei7804]

was the cam "walking"?

[@dhammiam]

No, it was an engine that was built elsewhere. I pulled the head and saw the valve job on 1 cylinder hadn’t been finished.

[@michaelm2420]

I installed the new 383 Chevy small-block , I have a misfire and timing mark jumps 10 degrees can't get it to sit still. Do you think it's possible I have the same situation?

[@dhammiam]

It’s possible. Did it go through the break-in process using the high zinc break-in oil and keep rpm’s up?
