Abodee,
Taking it one step at a time. This weekend going to pull rockers and do a leak down test on all cylinders. Just the push air and listen variety. Then if I get no leaks the rockers go back on and I look for lash variances. Not knowing what cam this is makes it a bit hard to guess on lash. But I will stay on the safe side and start with at least .0030 when cold and then recheck when hot. If vacuum settles down then I can see how it runs. Not looking forward to the chain issue. But that will likely be next. Oh and with the rockers out I figure I will be able to see how much lift I am getting at the pushrod. No lash to figure in. Then I may be able to idnetify the cam since the mechanic I spoke too remembers it being as Isky. There are only a few solid lift cams Isky makes for this engine.
