<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: njsteve</div><div class="ubbcode-body">.....
Things we learned:
1) Only getting 130 PSI on a compression test.....

Possibilities:
1) Timing chain installed incorrectly (even though I rechecked the marks on the crank and timing gear several times before sealing the timing cover.)
2) The Edelbrock (Cloyes) timing set had the indicator marks mis-stamped.
3) The Melling SP-7 Camshaft ground wrong.

Any other suggestions? </div></div>

Did you install the timing set &quot;dot to dot&quot; or did you degree the cam in?

Is it hitting 130 PSI on all 8 holes?
