When you check your timing, be sure to check your valve timing before you check your ignition timing.

Thanks again for the responses!!
Yes when they brought it over #5 and 6 plug holes where full of oil. I sucked it out with my brake bleeder then pulled the plugs and brake cleaned the holes out. I pulled all the cam cover bolts(all loose) and sprayed brake clean through the bolt holes and re-installed with locktite(blue). I did put 2 new plugs in.
I will put in 6 new plugs in next.
Are the plug wires shot after being soaked with oil? I cleaned them well but I know oil can break down and soak into rubber...maybe still shorting out a bit?? Just want to ask before I spend any more of their money....they already got soaked for $199 EACH for the KS's!
