Was the coolant low? Or was it plain water mixed with oil?
Did you pressure test the glycol side?
What is the SWL to riser height? Is it above 14"?
Stock cam, or something else? If so, what
Correct base timing?
Are both flappers there?
no problem. do it all the time
While dyno testing a bunch of diesel engines, we had a fuel cooler go bad and mix about 500 gallons of diesel with water. since we had to get rid of the bad fuel, we filled 9 55 gallon drums with the contaminated diesel and I took it home. I let it sit a month...
If you pull the fuel filter, you replace the filter with a new one. because it will cross-contaminate the filter.
you are doing a compression test to rule out a sticking valve
crappy fuel, lean condition, improper timing, running hot all contribute to a motor sneezing.
yes, condensation under the valve covers is common until you get the oil over 212 degrees to boil out the moisture
swap the block-killer manifolds ASAP
@alldodge , have you ever tried to get a fuel dolly in or out of the bed of your truck by yourself?
The 14 gallon is about 110# loaded
Once you get it out of the truck and down to the water, it's great
There are only 2 thread sizes used on engines and every compression tester I have ever used has both threads
Also, just borrow one from you local parts store
