Your making my head hurt trying to figure out what your even asking. I've watched your Vid and all I see is 38 seconds of the Crank pulley turning and you keep saying things about the valves. Good luck figuring things out.

bent valves = little or no compression whis is what the engine has. Judging from the whistle of air thats what im thinking it is so can anyone show me a vid of what they are supposed to look like when the cam is rotated?

Thats not really that hard I think that I know where you are coming from even though I had to watch it about 5 times and read the posts that many times as well..Take off your valve covers, the beauty of a SOHC is the fact that you can see the cams. Check the lobes for scaring, meaning the middle of the lobe see if you can see anything unusual. Also check the lobes and see if there is any discoloration, its possible that your valve seals are pissing fuel on the intake side. Its possible that you have a bent valve or valves however I think its unlikely. Are you also leaking any oil in the driveway, when you crank the motor....

no the douche that rebuilt my tranny put 2 1/2 gallons of oil in my motor and it exited via timing chain gasket so that problem is fixed. this happened when i was driving it back to the house and haven't been able to figure it out yet
