I agree it's not being driven until I get eyes on. I'm picking up a borescope tonight. And doing a compression test.. I'm opening the head as a last resort cause I don't really have time.

Alright, the borescope wasn't too much help as it was too wide to fit through the sparkplug threads. I was able see down the cavity and it was able to see a few inches of the piston. Everything seemed fine, nothing visable.
I then did a compression test and got, in order 180, 181, 190, 180. #3 was not only not low, but a little higher.
I think I'll get some new plugs tomorrow as see what happens.

Good luck!

So I threw in some 7173's after one more inspection. Idle was good and afr seemed good so I went for a spin. Damn is all I can say. Everything is better. It runs even smoother than it did when I bought it. Even the stage 4 clutch is easier to handle.
