And yes, #8 exhaust has minimal movement.

It had only been running for a few seconds in that video. It gets oil okay thankfully, and if the gauge is any good (and I probably should put another one on it to verify) it cranks at 60psi.

So there is absolutely an issue with the #8 cylinder, it's just a question of lifter, cam lobe, both, valve, valve spring.... etc.

Ain't no fun in viewing your car as an 'investment'. Get out there and beat on it!
