i crimped FPR return line nothing.

clocked distrib 180 and wires 180 same thing same cylinder.

 

I am having a similar problem, bump for some input

 

tiny white puffs of white smoke only durring the miss today figured it was from the un burnt gas.

checked compression again engine hot and cold still good #s but slightly higher on missing cylinder and they hold.

noticed verry slowly loosing coolant.

removed valve cover to inspect and found chocolatemilk on the underside of the VC that was not visible through the oil fill hole or on dipstick.

replacing the headgasket tonight i will confirm that the problem is fixed when i am done.

 

problem fixed - headgasket - felpro $24.99

 

In this case, I guess HT was just a good listener.
