This was definately not my day. First the coffee pot broke (well I shouldn't say coffee pot - it's a way too expensive automatic expresso machine.) Then I go warm up the cobra to adjust the valves and do another compression check. In the process of adjusting the valves I break off one of the adjustment studs on the #4 intake rocker arm. Get to a machine shop and it takes the guy about 2 hrs to get the broken stud out of the rocker arm. Now I can't seem to find anyone locally with a replacement part and the Comp Cams folks are doing inventory and say they can't even enter an order till Monday.
As such, the only update is that the lash on the valves I got to appeared to be around .22 and the Isky Cam calls for .018.
Also pulled one of the spark plug wire connectors loose as well, so open to any recommendations on a good brand of wires that will go with an MSD ignition.
I should have stayed in bed........
