The Valves looked really good,  when I had the engine apart.  The fuel
injectors are firing fuel (gas ), I have checked them.  The pop is more of a
spit back   I also have a water leak, in the forward head gasket below
cylinder 3  where the head mates with the crankcase.  Many of the vacuum
hoses were off as well.   The rubber part that holds the wire in the housing
of the distributor is gone, the wires are hanging out, but there are no
shorts that I can tell.?   It worries me that I cannot get the crankshaft
pulley bolt to break loose.   No loose wire brings the oil light on the dash
on...?
Thanks in Advance,
Lyle
