Yes BLW, I tried it both ways and nothing. I'm going to pull the rocker covers off and take a look. I like to drop some Marvel airtool oil (Great after run) down the lifter tubes before I do a break in run. I shattered a cam gear before during a breakin due to a stickey rod.
I'll give a couple of shots into the glow plug also and see what happens. It's probably nothing and I jumped the gun in a panic. I just never had this before and I have about 10 Saito's.
I let you know how it turns out.
Thanks,
Bob
