[6pack] [TR] engine swap / motor skip

[Robert Lang]

Hi,

Put your timing light on the #2 plug wire with the engine running. Does 
the timing light fire? If not, track down high-tension probs first. Then 
look at the mechanical stuff... valve lash (already discussed), static 
compression, leak-down, etc.

But part of tracking down the HT stuff is looking at the plug. What does 
the plug look like?  How does it compare with #1 or #3? What happens if 
you flip the plugs beteen the holes.

I'm just throwing out ideas here. But anyone that "hangs" with me knows 
that I go for the compression gauge and leak-down tester pretty early in 
the game. I def. got my $$$ worth out of those tools in the last 30 years 
or so!
