well got at least 150 compression in all eright cylinders, what i did was had tighten all the roller rockers and it worked. i guess im going to have to use some spacers (super thin)to bum the rollers up a hair and try to even the compression out on all the cylinders because a couple of them are up in the 170 range and the lowest is 149. the only problem i noticed is that it is having some back firing
