    You won't believe it. When I loosened the exhaust and intake valve, I also leaned the carb because I was way too rich. Well, I over leaned it. I richened it back to where it supposed to be, and it is running perfect. The compression came up on 8 cylinder as well. All cylinders are within 8 pounds!! That was an easy fix but also a pain!!!

    Glad you figured it out!!

    It was showing rich cause that cylinder was bleeding off... Just goes to show that you can only make one change at a time and always start with the stupid stuff first!
