Nothing is simple to do. I had to remove the alternator to remove the brace. I had to cut the hole in it longer in order to tighten the belt. After tightening it I could turn the motor with the fan but not good. Still not tight enough I guess.
I neglected to remove the battery cable & grounded the alternator (big spark). Ruined it!
I did adjust two valves used that lashing technique again.
So while checking cylinder compression m, air leaks out pretty bad somewhere. It must be in the head, I don’t feel air from the oil dip stick.
Just to see if a valve was not closed fully I released the rockers fully so the valves should be closed. It still leaked down but not as loud.
Is there anything I can do other than take the head in for service??
Thanks
