what do you mean by in place? heads are still on the car, but the rockers are all loose, only finger tightened. i'm guessing they have to be torqued to spec? i guess i will have to search how to do a compression test, but you crank the engine over? what about the dizzy and injectors being out? doesn't matter? i think a comp. test will be my last thing to check before i give up and have it towed somewhere....
oh - it has been suggested to me on another local forum that it may be a wrist pin... anyone with an opinion on that idea?
