1972 Dodge Colt

How did you find out that you had compression by leaving those nuts loose? What made you try that?
Great question!
Not really sure, but during the work on the valve cover, I think, I just loosened them on #1.
Just to see if I could see, hear or feel something.
Bingo, I had the 180 psi number on the gage.
I had just a little interference on the #1 and #6 exhaust rockers.
So I just kept grinding and checking till everything cleared.
Just a small rub.
You can see in this picture the marking I placed on the high spot to check for rub.No Comp Images (1).JPG
