Kelly,

First of all I always enjoy your posts because you are never afraid to ask questions.

Next, have you checked your valve adjustment yet? Just because an engine has good compression and that usually indicates that the valves are good doesn't mean they are adjusted properly. If they are too loose it means they are not opening far enough to allow the proper amount of fuel into they cylinder for good combustion and also not evacuating the exhaust enough for clean air to be there for the next cycle. Also while checking the valves, make sure the face of the rocker arm is not badly worn against the valve tips. This can make it nearly impossible to get a good valve setting. You can easily remove the rocker arms and resurface them.

Just my two copper Abe Lincolns.
