what you can do is while car running, accelerate so it doesnt stall, cover carby properly and our water around the carby base and intake mani and check for bubbles. if you see bubbles then air leak.
have you checked compression? especially on 1st cyl. when you checked the plugs none had oil or any liquid residue?
tightened intake manifold - was a bit loose - changing for new gasket this weekend as precaution.
compression test was even across all cylinders.
problem turned out to be i left the hose clamp off the pcv valve just nevr noticed it till my father in law pointed it out. Always takes a fresh set of eyes.
replacing all air hosess this weekend to be safe as there is still a slight jumping in idle but not enough to stall or warrant a 17-1800 rpm idle to stay alive.
thanks heaps guys.
on another note .... tapping that increases with rpm's? tappet adjustment? or possibly timing chain tension?
