Check and adjust the valves to factory specs and then report back.

Timing correct. Make sure the belt didn't skip any teeth

you where totally right. i had 110 compression on #1 and 135 on the rest figured that when i loosened everything i had to re-adjust the valve lash, now i have 150 across the board.

thanks
