That's right. I'm "out". Out of money, out of ideas and tricks, out of patience. I have replaced the starter, and all of the fuel components. I have spark on all 6 plugs, air and fuel. Too much or too little I don't know because I have no idea where to set the CO screw and it was likely tampered with by the idiot of a mechanic I let work on it in December. The wires are in the correct order. I have spark. I've used a timing light while cranking the engine and I'm at 13 degrees BTDC. The engine is so tight the new starter can barely move it when all of the spark plugs are in. Obviously that's not right, but I followed the timing chain procedure in the manual and verified it with the people at DMCH. I hand cranked it BEFORE I started it. No interference. No bent valves. It shrieks like a beaten wife when it cranks because the oil I put in the cylinders to lube it is washed away by gas. As far as I can tell, when I pull all the plugs and start putting them in one by one, and cranking the engine with the addition of each plug, only 2 cylinders are making any kind of combustion. There are 2 "thumps". As I add more plugs, there are no additional thumps, and the compression gets higher and higher as I add plugs and the engine slows down. I do not, nor am I ever likely to have funds to ship this thing to Houston or Long Island, and pay for repairs. I can pay for labor or parts, not both. Unless I have some kind of epiphany, 5335 will be another dead weight in another guy's driveway, falling apart as time eats away at it.
