Re: Misfire at high revs
Since we can't hook the scanner to it, how about a vacuum gauge? I haven't seen a sticky valve mentioned yet. Dare I say add MMO in the gas??

Re: Removing stuck parts
My trick for pistons is to pour an inch or so of Kerosene in the bore. Diesel fuel will work, just don't use gasoline. Clean/scrape around the edges of the pistons first. Use a piece of paper as a...

Re: Just when I thought I understood A timing...
I think I would take the crank gear off and hang it on the wall as a reminder of what can bite you in the butt. Then, get one that at least has a chance of being right and marked right off the bat.

Re: The new one from germany
