CONFUSION ALERT!
I did check the firing wiring, the odd thing I noticed is that the #1 comes off 6 O clock # 2 off the 9 O clock #3 12 and #4 3 o clock (and yes the 3 and 4 are crossed over correctly) So they follow the clockwise sequence but start differently than what I have read to be normal. I am guessing that's just the way the timing was set up on this particular engine..?
Also I did try to do a compression test yesterday, but I could not get the tester to thread into the plug receptacle all the way as to seat the O-ring to the top of the hole. I did not want to force anything. so there is about .25" of thread still showing. Would it be ok to take a wrench and giver a bit of love, or will I run the risk of pooching the thread or damage a piston head?
Again a big shout out to all of you that have shared your thoughts.
Cheers
I am going to pick up a new set of plugs, clean the cap and cables and then pull the wires one at a time with her running and make some notes. I have some MMO on hand to play with as well.
