Re: Compression loss?

OK. I read that you pulled the wires, but not that you actually removed
the plugs to see if oil had gotten on the plugs electrodes inside the
combustion chamber , which, as you know, happens when the cam cover leaks at the
plug wells. Have you leaked for vacuum leaks, especially the big, but
somewhat hidden vac cap at the back of the intake manifold, near the firewall?

First thing I did was check the plugs. They are clean.
The cam cover gasket is a little leaky, but only on the outside.
