The cam is an Isky 77B that i have run before, so its not the cam. I did the zip tie today for tdc and changed the front cover and pully to the 8BA setup, and my tdc 's both matched perfectly. Not a cam issue after all.
Now the confession, I did the lash the Ford way originally, grinding stems. Unfortunately my grinding setup was difficult to implement. My goal was to set everything to .012" lash. Today I reviewed all the lash measurements and well, I'm humbled. Did not do a very decent job. I'll try posting a photo I took of all the lash specs as well as installed spring height numbers. The question is, is the data so bad as to make the engine run like sxxt.
I hope you can read this if not, I'll work on it. The 2 digit #s are the lash and the 4digit #s are the installed spring height.
My concerns, the installed height OK with stock springs and lastly are my lash numbers responsible for a VERY bad running motor. Please help this nit\wit!
