^^^^^^^^^This right here. Even if you did NOT degree cam and just lined the dots up, it would NOT be down 100lbs. If you missed it a tooth it would NOT be down 100lbs. So the cam is either WAY off, or it has bent valves. If it had this much blowby, it would smoke.

If you look back on the first page, he says a couple things of merit. Says he has a gear drive and that he did degree it in on 106. Now some gear drives can be a little tricky if you are not positive of what all the numbers mean, but he says he DID degree it and it was right, so it seems he knows how to read a degree wheel. Second thing he says is that it is hard to start when hot. Has to wind a lot. Low pumping pounds would definitely do this. He has stated valve lash, so it would not seem valve lash is tight, plus he says it starts better cold. Tight lash would be opposite..............
