I pulled the head today to see what was wrong with number 5 cylinder. I mounted the head on the valve test plate and applied 60 pounds of shop air. I expected that the exhaust valve was the culprit and needed some more lapping. But there were no leaks from either valve they were good. I checked for suction on number 5 cylinder and that was good also. After close inspection I noticed that the intake valve springs on number 5 and 6 cylinders were different from the rest. I had trouble finding the intake springs and had went to several hardware stores to purchase them. These two springs were much too stiff so I rummaged through all my junk drawers and found two that would work.
As long as I had the head off I made a new head gasket from the same material that I had used on many of my other models but not originally on this model. The suction on number 6 cylinder was not that great so I removed the piston and rod and replaced the o-ring on that cylinder.
The hall sensor is doing fine.
Well here it is.
There is still some tuning to do and I realized that I had never adjusted the ignition timing as it is till on TDC.![Signsandflags27 :oops2: :oops2:](/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/new/1/signsandflags27.gif)
Thanks for looking
