with all the responses suspecting the valve train, i have began to wonder.
with nothing obvious could it be possible that with new valves and guides, the
valve is hanging up and not closing fast enough.  the valve came out easily
and moved easily in the guide when we took the springs off, but is it possible
for it to return too slowly and allow compression to escape.  i know that it
was moving up and down but had no idea of how quickly it returned to full
close.  could this be possible or do the springs have too much tension for
this to happen.  healeymanjim
