Last Friday my friend and I went out to my pinto and took a look at what was going on again, and we finally figured out thanks to you guys what was going on. We did a compression check on the first valve and it was reading 0...BUT when we took the rocker arm off it was reading 60, keep in mind that the lock nuts were all the way down. So, we did the timing all over again and it turned out we had the timing mark on the wrong side the whole time. The timing mark is supposed to be to the left but it was to the right all this time! So now that we did that and did the compression check and now I'm getting 130! So hopefully all goes well when we go back this Friday to do the valve lash. Thank goodness I have some crowsfeet to do that!!
