heres what i've done so far to diagnose starting problem
injectors:i just had them tested...theyre within specs and have a good pattern
its got a manifold heater on it but i didnt know that until head gasket had blown...its gonna be checked out while i'm changing gasket.its got a good 875amp battery in it..i may build some new cables like i put on 6 volt systems with brass clamps and 2 aught welding lead. bendix started acting up after engine developed problem and i got new bendix,brushes,n bushings on parts list already...i mite add another battery in circuit to see if it helps and run dual cables instead of just parallel. engine has 0 blowby and had just a hint of whitish blue smoke on startup...nada when it warmed up...i've yet to have to add oil to it even after driving it home approx 30 miles. did a compression test and all cylinders pegged 250# gauge except between 4-5 and its puffing between them...i know what that is ;) i havent checked timing yet but i will...it ran so good timing never crossed my mind. i'm sure i've left some stuff out but i'll keep yall posted as i get it tore down.
thanx
chuck
