Just read the thread by mywhite89 and am now really concerned about compression and fixes. My car has lots of mods..seems to have little power and even more troubling is my lack of compression. I don't have 0 but I sure dont have 165 psi!!
I installed this cam from SCP:
SPECS:
RPM Operating Range: 1500-6000 RPM
Duration: Advertised Intake 265, Advertised Exhaust 281.
@ .050" Intake 210, @ .050" Exhaust 226
Valve Lift: Intake .500, Exhaust .500
Lobe Separation Angle: 114
The heads are reworked..original springs (they tested ok), original rocker, but new lifters and rods.
Did I screw up the rocker arm install?? I followed a haynes manual to the letter. But, mywhite89 thread has me thinking I need either to shim of loosen off torque on the rockers. I'll research more, but I heads up might come in handy.
