HI there, if you have a comp issue t the valves it must be valve timing or valve clearances, i first would do a leak down test and check which valves are leaking, you will hear it in the exhaust or the induction as air pressure is applied, knowing this you will have a better understanding as to wher you should be looking, i have added the clearances and valve timing pics for referance purposes. mark (mhpautos)
